Spotify Linux – Beta Preview – (Natively on Fedora 13 / CentOS)
Spotify have released the beta preview version of Spotify for Ubuntu/Debian, however they haven't for Fedora/CentOS.
As a result I've decided to convert the 'DEB' package file to an RPM. I'll attach the 2 RPM files you need to install.
Please do the following:
1) Download the files, here and here.
2) rpm -ivh spotify-client-gnome-support-0.4.6.73.ga662380-2.noarch.rpm
3) rpm -ivh --nodeps spotify-client-qt-0.4.6.73.ga662380-2.i386.rpm
This installs Spotify and places it under the 'Sound and Video' category in your 'Applications' menu.
Note: This version is still very buggy. Everyone has problems accessing the 'preferences' menu, and some people have issues with choppy audio. If you have a fix for the choppy audio, then please post on my blog, and let us know.

Thank you so much! I’d been looking all over the place, and no love from Spotify when it comes to rpm-systems, it’s a shame really. I was going to do the same when I stumbled across this blog posting.

I appreciate that you’ve used your time for this and shared it to everyone. Although I didn’t get the spotify-client installed since dependency error: libc.so.6(GLIBC_PRIVATE) is needed by spotify-client-qt-0.4.6.73.ga662380-2.i386
I don’t know that much of these things to solve it by myself so it would be great if someone knows if this is fixable? I have Fedora 12 (Constantine), Linux version 2.6.32.16-141.fc12.x86_64
Thanks!

Jukka H,
You might have missed it in my original post, but you have to do the following to get past that error:
rpm -ivh –nodeps spotify-client-qt-0.4.6.73.ga662380-2.i386.rpm
Cheers
