I like using spotify, I can listen to my favourite playlists, shuffle them, use smart shuffle to expand on my music, search for music and if used enough even the automatic recommendations are somewhat usable. But I have to definetly subtract one point for occasional hiccups and crashes and also what many others mentionend, the missing key. I am on LMDE6 and the solution from waynex worked. (Open software-sources -> maintenance tab -> add missing keys). Additionally after sudo apt update it will be recommenden to switch to https for more security. (the command I used: sudo sed -i 's/http:/https:/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list)
I enjoy using it. Shortly after installing it, I had problems with sudo apt update. This link fixed it, but since my case does not seem isolated, it would be better if it was done by default when installing : https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Spotify-on-Linux-cant-be-updated-or-installed-due-to-a-missing/td-p/6617827
It works very well, but by default the repository is not signed and the public key is not available. This causes problems with apt updates, including those related to other applications. This can be fixed from the Software Sources menu, but this isn't something the user should have to do.
Unfortunateley it broke my apt-cache. Some packages doesn't seem to be signed.
Works. If you get error while trying to "sudo apt update" ; Go to software sources, maintaince and click "add missing keys"
Took an hour and a half and three separate support personnel to submit a very simple bug report.
absolute garbage like anything made by this company, as expected. it broke within half a minute. changed the settings so that it would minimize when close button is pressed, song playing, pressed the closed button, entire program disappears leaving me unable to stop or change song even when trying to re-launch. good job guys! also music through web player somehow sounds BETTER than when using this software.
No issues with app usability in Linux Mint 22, it's just awesome! Problem with missing public key resolving in 5 minutes of googling, and couple minutes of applying fix. Yes, this should be fixed on Spotify maintainer side, but I see no real reasons to lower app rating because of that. Most important that it works as it should. That's it.
As another comment by "Nivolra" says, the application has an error because of a "missing public key". Very big inconvinence, if you want to try and fix it please refer to his review.
At the time of this writing, I have experienced an error in which the repository couldn't update due to a missing public key. For the less tech-savvy who may read this, a key like this is used to ensure the authenticity of the publisher. The only fix I found was to uninstall Spotify and follow the in-site instructions posted on their website, when not using the Software Manager's variant! Reported on Linux Mint 22.
It's proprietary and doesn't really pay artists very well. With that said, you can access pretty much every song ever here and the UI is fire. Recommend using this with SpotX :)
The package does what it should and has had no bugs so far. Spotify as a service is expensive, but makes listening to audio content, especially music, very accessible.
Works just like Win version. Although closing window doesn't minimize it under Linux Mint 21.1. (even this option is selected under settings). 4/5
