My Question or Issue

Can we please get a aarch64-linux build of the spotify-desktop application? There's some nice ARM(64) hardware, but it's currently not possible to run the Spotify desktop application in an aarch64 environment, because there's no aarch64 build available.

This is essentially the same request as https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Spotify-Linux-on-aarch64/m-p/3367557#M299, but that one got closed due to the user leaving the platform.

Me too...

+1 for this !

Come on Spotify, get with the program already!

This would be perfect to run Spotify from my Fedora Asahi linux on M1, any updates? thanks

i thought no one else wanted it on a raspi

[LilleIlle]

Yes, please! I need this too!

Just got ARM Ubuntu running on my Dell XPS, looking for ARM64 build of Spotify.

Please do this.  I would love to have Spotify work on my Pi400 and Fedora Asahi machines.  This is one of the main things keeping me from buying a Spandragon X laptop.  Basically everything else works for me on ARM except Spotify.  Spotify already works on Linux with ARM for Android.  It would be great if it worked for Linux on desktop as well.

Does seem that since Android is supported it shouldn’t be much to support arm64 linux.

Seems that Windows users are enjoying arm64 support:

I wonder how we get the attention of Spotify on this one?

Although I haven't personally tested it yet, I reckon Spotify may be used on desktop aarch64-linux through Waydroid:

To add insult to injury, there's now a prominent "Install App" button in the web app's status bar. Please don't prompt me to install an app that does not yet exist.

Would love for this to be implemented.

From what I understand Spotify already provide AArch64 builds for Windows and MacOS users, so lack of such builds for Linux feels unfair, especially with taking into account that AArch64 apps ecosystem on Linux is overall older and more mature than AArch64 apps ecosystem on Windows.

this would be great, especially with ubuntu touch gaining support for snaps

i'm starting to think this was never picked up because it was posted in the wrong section all these years and got lost between all the other posts

I have now submitted it in the ideas section, please vote on the idea to attract the attention of spotify: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/arm64-support/idi-p/6551110#M305808

'spotube' seems to work well if you sign in with your spotify account, 'spotube' is found on flathub and ubuntu's 'software' app

running it on a pi 5

Dear spotify Team. Because you are the experts in Android dev (with Spotify app) and with Debian packaging on architecture adm64 it is difficult for me to unerstand why spotify is not yet available in Debian aarch64 package ? Please could you comunicate on this topic ? Thanks in advance
