Ubuntu Multimedia :: Lubuntu + Use Spotify With USB DAC?
Jul 8, 2011
how to use Spotify with my USB DAC. In MOC, Audacious etc it works great because I can configure what soundcard to use. Spotify only uses my laptops internal soundcard. Anybody have an idea how I can solve this?
I'm struggling to get the native Spotify on Ubuntu 10.10 working. I haven't tried it on any other version so I'm not sure if it's exclusive to 10.10.
Basically, the application loads fine, until I hover over to the left-hand side bar (playlists etc), at which point it crashes and *poof* instantly closes down.
I have seen already many post about my same problem but the suggestions have not been enough in my case .
I have Ubuntu 10.10, I run spotify through wine, but i receive the message saying can't play the music. I already ticked only ALSA, only OSS, both, I followed the other instructions for the audio tab ( Emulation, 44100 and 16 ), I reinstalled it as well, but nothing to do.
Basically as it says in the title. The second to last update about 6 or 7 weeks ago broke Spotify native. I get the following error message in the terminal:
I came a across this sneak the other day, [URL] Installed it fine but I'm unable to log in. After a password reset the problem persists and I am still able to log in to spotify's windows version under wine. I'm running sportify free and and I am wondering if the Linux client needs to have a spotify premium accont to work
Following instructions here: [URL] However, when I hit test in the audio settings I get an error saying it doesn't work. And when I try to load the installer exe I get the following error:
The latest version of Spotify incorporates a social networking part, which allows you to connect with your friends to share playlists etc. However, accessing this feature using Ubuntu and running Spotify with Wine isn't the easiest thing to do. Regular Spotify works well, but I cannot login to my Facebook account. Apparantly, this is due to that part of Spotify using IE7 components.
I couldn't get past the diaglogue box asking me to enter usr/pass, but after some googling I got IE7 support for Wine running using Winetricks. Now I can log in, but I get stuck at another point: the window where I'm to accept that Spotify accesses my private information. I click OK but then it just stands still, loading, and nothing happens. I know the new version just came out, how to fix it? Perhaps adding some other stuff with Winetricks beside IE7 support?
I've been trying to get Spotify running in wine on Maverick. I've had this running on older versions of Ubuntu in the past, but now it's not working. Spotify loads up fine, but as soon as I try to play some audio it crashes. When running it from the terminal I get the folowing backtrace:
I recently bought a new notebook, an Asus N73JQ. This notebook has a special sound system called "Bang & Olufsen ICEpower". The first thing I did was to install Ubuntu 64-bit. After installing and rebooting I am certain that i heard the Ubuntu login sound but ten minutes later when i tried playing music with Spotify all sound was gone. The login sound now gone too. I have tried editing settings in System -> Preferences -> Sound, with no luck. The settings dialog lists two sound devices, "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and "HDA NVidia Digital Stereo (HDMI)". Sound output device is set to the Internal Analog ** device. I have tried different profiles for this device but nothing seems to work. Does anyone here have the same notebook/sound system with a working sound configuration?
Im using spotify for Linux Preview, importing of local files is working now, but i can not play them.I get this error message:"There is a problem with the sound decoder. Spotify can't play music" Soo... what codec am i missing?I can play those mp3-files in other programs(Totem, Rhytmbox) with no problems at all.
i have a problem with both spotify and teamviewer. Both of them work just fine but when i close the main window they keep going in background (as they should) but, not showing any tray icon, if i want to close them i have to manually kill them in a terminal. For teamviewer there's an option to choose to completely close the program by closing the windows but i would like to have the possibility of having the app working in background with a tray icon!!!
Spotify gave me the same problem but i read on spotify community that is a bug of the current version. Still i'd like to solve the problem with teamviewer.I had a similar problem with skype and i solved getting a plugin from https://extensions.gnome.org/ but for teamviewer i don't see anything similar...

I recently bought a monthful of Spotify Premium to enjoy music at the school with my laptop and Nokia E71 with the offline mode - the WiFi at our school is too laggy to stream online music. Under wine, it works quite fine, however, I would totally like to use the native client (yes, I'm too a "yay linux" person like all of you here ), but the music quality is very poor on offline mode. It clips, goes forward, a second back, then back forward etc. The bitrate sounds to be high, an the quality is very good except the annoying clipping.
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 Beta release with Samsung N510 so the cpu power should not be an issue even though the native client uses the resources very greedily. Interesting enough, on my desktop computer (Core2Quad @ 3,3GHz, 4GB 900MHz DDR2 RAM) with the same OS version and software plays offline playlists smoothly (only some occasional clipping)
I have 3 computers running Ubuntu 10.10 (2x regular Ubuntu, 1x Lubuntu) and I need VLC media player 1.0.6 (the version from Lucid). I cannot use the Maverick VLC player, I need an older one.What is the best way to install it? Is there a better option then installing it from source code?
I recently switched from Ubuntu to Lubuntu on my Acer Aspire netbook. When I had Ubuntu, in System Preferences I had a Sound mixer that would allow me to set the volume beyond 100%. It simply said "Sound" and was different than the applet feature. Both were preinstalled. With Lubuntu, I seem to have lost this option. I went through and installed Gnome ALSA Mixer along with Pulse Audio Control, but neither does what this simple volume control feature on Ubuntu did. My speakers are horrible, and the previous "Sound" feature really let me crank it up a bit. I'm not trying to blow my speakers out or anything;
I am struggling to find a way to send spotify (or lastfm, shoutcast etc) audio to my PS3 over DLNA. I have SP3MediaServer for mp3s stored on my Ubuntu machine, but want to extend this to streaming internet audio...
I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and trying to run Spotify through Wine 1.2 but can't get it to play anything (worked fine on 10.04). I've followed the instructions on the Spotify site but setting the wine audio driver to OSS as recommended cause the audio test to fail. ALSA driver the audio test is fine but in both cases Spotify doesn't play anything (not just no sound but the song doesn't progress).
I've installed Wine and Spotify in UNE 10.04 and everything's fine, but how can I get an icon into one of the app category tabs? Also, when this page references a script for 'Opening spotify URIs from browsers' can I alternatively just enter those lines into Terminal?
Is there a way to share links to Spotify playlists with users who are running it through Wine? Obviously clicking a spotify: link doesn't work (Unless the browser is running in Wine)
Depending on whether I launched it with gnome do or the main menu I got a different 'version' of spotify, I could tell this because it had different searches remembered. I tried removing wine and spotify and gnome do via synaptic and completely remove and then the option to remove configuration files left over. I did a search and there were loads of wine files left so I just deleted. When I reinstalled wine, spotify and gnome do the same problem occurred.
Also Firefox started crashing ubuntu, just freezing it, so I tried to uninstall completely, but when I restarted it kept the same add ons and still crashed. So I uninstalled again and tried to delete all firefox folders but I can't work out how to do it as root.
I am using spotify native for linux. I would like to make it work with the browser so when I click on a spotify link it opens spotify and it goes to the right song/playlist/user I have not much idea of linux. I am a standard user. I am a philosophy student if you know what I mean. On their website I found a script. But it is for wine. I need one that uses the native binaries (I have checked that /usr/bin/spotify actually exists)
im trying to install a native version of spotify. Trying to use wine a little as possible. For now i only want to use utorrent with wine, cant live without it im having a hard time to install spotify on my system, i looked hard everywhere for a .rpm version to install. But couldnt find one. I googled and found out that im not alone with this problem, a lot of people talked about a program called "alien" that can convert the .deb version for debian and ubuntu. Tried to install that one but without success. I tried with theese two:
I'm fed up of the crappy low-res Spotify icon that i have in my systray and taskbar, so I have found a really nice replacement. Unfortunately I can't work out how to change the icon. I can change the icon in the menu by changing the .desktop file, but how do I change the others, the ones which I believe are controlled by wine?I'm running debian with xfce, and I run Spotify through wine.
When I installed Spotify on my computer - which is btw running Linux mint 8 gnome - and tried to play some of my music it started to stutter realy badly and play at about 1/8 of the speed it should play. There were no errors during installation that I am aware of. This also happens on my friends laptop which also runs Mint 8. If anyone else has had this problem and has managed to fix it I would greatly appreciate any helpful responses from them.
I recently removed Spotify using the Wine remove software function. When I try to reinstall Spotify using the "Spotify Installer.exe" I just keep getting the famous "NSIS error" (without any error code, it's plain NSIS). When I try to run the "Spotify Installer.exe" through a terminal it gives me: wine: cannot find L"unix\home\user\Desktop\Spotify Installer.exe"
Any help in this bloody mess is much appreciated since I can't (I hope no one can) live without music.
Spotify released a native linux client about a year ago. It would be awesome if I could use it on my linux desktop at work. Unfortunately, these computers are managed by a central server and so I can't install anything without system admin rights. I was wondering if there was a binary available that I could run from my home directory? The operating system we use is openSUSE 11.3 64-bit.
