If you are a Linux user (Debian-based in particular), be grateful because Spotify also has an official app for you. Fortunately, Spotify also offers a desktop app to let us have some fun with it. Instead of keeping a tab in web browser, most people prefer to install a desktop app to enjoy the tracks they love.

The question is, do you feel comfortable to enjoy music via web browser? I am not that sure. Additionally, you can also access Spotify from web browser to enable you stay close with your favorite songs while working with your desktop. Like I said, we can listen to our favorite musics in Spotify from nearly all devices we have since Spotify provides the official app for nearly all platforms. Why do you need to install Spotify desktop app?

Right? At least Spotify has showed its attention to Linux. Yes, it’s sounds unfair for Red Hat-based users. Which mean, only those who use Debian-based distros can install and enjoy music from their Linux desktop. Spotify for Linux is released as Deb package. It supports all platforms with no exception. Once you register a Spotify account you can start listening to your favorite songs anytime you want from all the devices you have, whether it’s Android, iPhone, Windows Phone, Mac, Windows and even Linux. Nearly all famous singers and bands have also supported Spotify and released their musics to this service. There is a big chance they will say “yes, of course”. If you don’t believe it, try to ask your music addict friends if they have a Spotity account. Spotify is the best one when it comes to streaming music service.
