Spotify Ubuntu
Tested in Kubuntu 15.04 and 15.10
Spotify has an official client developed in qt, available via repo:

Run apt-get update
sudo apt-get update -
Install spotify!
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
However, this depends on libgcrypt11, which in ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 is replaced by libgcrypt20. If you try to run spotify, you’ll get the following error message:
spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To solve this, we have to manually download and install libgcrypt11 deb-file.
It can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgcrypt11
and installed by double-clicking, or dpkg -i libgcrypt11_1.5.4-2ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb (replace with your version).
