It'll be compiled for x86 not Arm, so no.

Does this work on N900 too?
Anyway, it seems they're using QT which means they might port it for N900 at some point as well. Hopefully they will.

First of all, this client is not supported by Spotify, as is clearly stated on the web page you're linking to.
Secondly, since it's most likely compiled for X86, and not ARM, getting it to work on the N900 will not be easy. There is some work going on to use X86 binaries on the N900 but I have no idea of the status.
If Spotify supplies an ARM binary, things are different.

OK, thanks all.
That's what I was presuming also.
It seems that there are 3-4 different "Spotify for N900" projects going on. None of them seem to reach a stage where they could be released for users. Infinite test releases and nothing final :-(

All of them, as far as I know, are developed with new features being added or bigger fixes being done. To release that (by pushing to Extras-testing and waiting for enough votes) just to get something into Extras isn't always good.
And there already are people using the clients. Enable Extras-devel, install the client you think is most to your taste and there you go.

It might work, it'll try it. I suspect it'll need too much ram/cpu/screensize or too complicated a threading model that qemu won't reliably run it.
I'll follow up shortly.

Okay, whilst this might work, it's not going to be particularly easy to even test. It needs a much newer chroot than I have available. I could easily solve this, but it'll take hours and I really don't have time. If anyone is interested in helping. Do the following:
get it running on your system.
type "mount" and check that you don't have noatime in any of your mount points, if you, remount them if you can. (Only do this if you understand what I mean).
run "touch ~/uniquefile"
run spotify and then shut it down.
run "find / -anewer ~/uniquefile >listoffilesspotifyuses"
run "tar cf spot.tar -T listoffilesspotifyuses"
Then extract that tar in to its own directory and make sure it contains /bin/bash and a few other chroot necessities. - again, only do this if you know what you're doing.
This directory should be the bare minimum libs and files needed for a chrooted spotify for x86. This can then be run under qemu on the n900.
I don't even have a workstation running the latest ubuntu atm so I haven't even got the native one handy, and making a vmware (or similar) session just for this goes way beyond what time I can spend on this at work

Can't you try this on a Ubuntu Live CD? I'd love to help you somehow, not that used with chrooting though...

Does this work on N900 too?
