Spotify for Linux Updates With Facebook Features


The Linux client with regard to Spotify offers recently been updated.

Were we playing eye-spy My partner and i’d be spying something beginning using the letter ‘F’ right about now…

Yep, model zero.6.1 is mainly a good revise adding Facebook-related features (as per yesterdays big announcement).

When logging into your Facebook account via Spotify you will be asked to be able to grant the application ‘access to be able to your Timeline’.

The ‘main window’ pane see the actual addition associated with two tabs towards the top strip – ‘Top Lists’ (listing geographically associated charts) as well as ‘Feed’ (listing tracks shared through your Facebook buddies.)

And to aid filling up your feed along with shared tracks is the introduction of a ‘sharing’ button next in order to each and also every track. Click that as well as a dialogue appears with regard to quick posting to Facebook, Twitter, Spotify or perhaps – oddly – Windows Live.

Perhaps the particular only non-Facebook related change has been for the log in screen, which can be now white instead of puke green: -

The update does contains one significant bug which may be worth not-updating with regard to: Sound Menu support regarding Spotify is broken. Although clicking ‘next/prev/play still perform their particular required jobs the particular ‘Play’ button remains within ‘Play’ mode, and no album art or track information will be displayed within the actual menu.

Spotify for Linux is actually only available to subscribing (i.e. paying) users.  Ubuntu 32bit as well as 64bit can easily install the client through following the particular instructions @ spotify.com/uk/download/previews/
