This has been the cause of a great deal of consternation among its Linux user base. Their most recent update to the “Linux Preview” version of their software breaks in Debian Wheezy (Debian 7) due to the Debian repository’s reliance on EGLIBC version 2.13 (the 0.9.11 version of Spotify is built against the newer 2.15 GLIBC library). Spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found Spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found Upon completion of the upgrade, though, I was most dismayed to find that Spotify would not start but, rather, crashed with the following errors: With a quick update of my system, I was on my way to enjoying the latest version of Spotify. $ sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade I was excited when my workstation announced the inclusion of an updated version of Spotify in their software repo. Their players for iOS and Android are, similarly, quite excellent! Unfortunately, though, they have yet to release a version 1.0 for Linux. Spotify is an excellent streaming media service! They have, in fact, successfully garnered all of my music consumption.
