Linux Install Instructions

Linux Install Instructions

Hi all,

 

I'm looking at the linux install instructions here: https://www.spotify.com/uk/download/previews/

 

I have a suggestion for the first step. Instead of:

 

# 1. Add this line to your list of repositories by
#    editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

 

It seems like it would be easier to do something like

 

sudo apt-add-repository "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"

 

They achieve the same. However, the second way doesn't require you to leave the terminal. The first way requires you to start up a text editor. It also is an easier way to mess up the repository list on accident. I can't think of any, but would there be any case in which the first method would be better?

 

Just food for thought!
