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.
