Native Spotify for Linux (almost)
Today, the Spotify people announced a preview of a native Spotify for Linux. I downloaded it, and tried it Ubuntu Karmic at work.
Unfortunately, it still requires some work. Exhibit #1:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I’m sure enterprising hackers would fix this in a jiffy, if only the source code was available. Show me the code:)
Update: I can happily report that the version 0.4.8.282.gf7dc186-1 works just dandy with Ubuntu 10.04. I got it from the Linux preview download page.
