Now Spotify is an official appli of Jolicloud

A few weeks ago we explained how to use Spotify on Jolicloud with Wine.

But just now, the Jolicloud has announced that the Spotify appli is available for direct install in the Applis directory!

Well Done !

And also some invitations for Spotify are available on Jolicloud web site.

On this occasion, our friends at Spotify have given us free invites for our Jolicloud users in France, Spain and the UK. If you live in one of those countries, you can click on the following link to sign up and create your Spotify account now: https://www.spotify.com/en/get-started/.

If you live in another country where Spotify is open (Sweden, Finland or Norway) and still wish to create an account, email us at operation.spotify@jolicloud.com. We’ll see what we can do!

PS: Note: for those of you who have manually installed Spotify before, you can uninstall your previous version by going to Home Jolicloud (blue house) . And by clicking on “Uninstall Wine Software” in “Wine” and selecting “Spotify” to start the uninstall process.

Tip: How to listen to Spotify on Jolicloud

So, like many others you like Spotify , the hypest sound streaming application coming from Europe ? Well now you can listen to Spotify also on Jolicloud, the easysimple OS for Netbooks. How ?

Easy, to install spotify, install wine first and then install the windows version of spotify and enjoy !

Spotify has created a lightweight software application that users will simply download and then log onto their service enabling on demand streaming of music. (from TechCrunch database).

Wine is a free software application that aims to allow Unix-like computer operating systems to execute programs written for Microsoft Windows. (from Wiki)

You will find Wine, in My Jolicloud Application Dashboard in the Accesories directory.

I did it and it works. Of course the sound is coming out from a netbook but my Dell mini 9 is Ok. If I do not open to many applis at the same time the streaming is also ok.
And as a Windows appli I can modify the size of the Spotify window.
