software installation - How to install latest Spotify testing version?



The stable Spotify client on Linux has not been updated for a while.




Is there a way to install the latest (testing) version which includes some new features ?



Do not forget that this is a testing version, you may encounter bugs that do not occur in the stable version !






Use the testing PPA of Spotify (source and release notes):



sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C19886
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client


Note : This version includes the libgcrypt11 libraries which are missing in Ubuntu 15.04 & 15.10 and prevent Spotify to launch.
