No. The release is an X86 build, not an armel build.

It's written in QT though isnt it ?

The situation is similar as to before.. but you could always install the Maemo Groveshark client. "apt-get install groove". It is currently in extras-dev.

And to me honest the Wine soulution for desktop linux have been working good. But always nice to have it native.

Spotify already works on Maemo. Though you need a premium account to use it.

Sure, it's written in Qt, but presumably compiled for Intel processors, not ARM processors. That suggests that it wouldn't take too much effort to re-target for ARM processors, but the binary format on this release is entirely incorrect for the N900.

An officially supported client would be great, though. (As would access for Unlimited subscribers, too. I suggested recently to Spotify that they might like to consider that as an option.)

Only for now... as they can't figure out a good way of getting adds on the Client.
If this could be ported for maemo and chop the GUI up a little that would be awesome. I want to be able to create play-lists on the fly from my N900 and currently we can't with any of the Spotify offerings.

Yep, just to confirm this is pay-subscribers only still for the N900.

Not all paying subscribers, only Premium subscribers. Unlimited subscribers can't access the service via third-party libs, via officially supported mobile clients, or via the new X86 Linux client.

This release from Spotify is good news, but it has nothing to do with the N900, unless I've missed something major about a code drop.
