Spotify will download and install right away. It’s super easy to install the Spotify Linux Snap app on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or later. Spotify for Linux also has media key support and MPRIS integration (e.g., the Ubuntu Sound Menu, GNOME Shell Message Tray, Budgie’s Raven, etc) so that you can control music playback regardless of whether the app is in focus or not. Literally no difference all the features that work in the regular Spotify Linux app work in the snap build, including access for free accounts, playlists, podcasts, annoying Facebook feed activity, Last.fm scrobble support, and so on. You can, for instance, install Spotify from Flathub, the Flatpak app store and a traditional apt repository is available for Ubuntu (should you prefer to get your app updates the old-fashioned way).ĭistribution method aside there’s no difference between the Spotify snap app and the version you can download elsewhere. If snap applications aren’t your thing you’ll be pleased to know Spotify remains available elsewhere too.

I’ve seen the problem with spotify not closing before when using spotify from AUR and with a repacked spotify RPM on Fedora.
