Steps followed were:1) Installed and configured Wine as recommended by Spotify (http://www.spotify.com/us/help/faq/wine/) . Note that my system uses Pulse audio so I did not have the option to select Sound Drivers in Wine Audio config. I set Hardware Acceleration to Emulation, Default Sample Rate to 44100 and Default Bits Per Sample to 16.2) Downloaded Windows version of Spotify installer (http://www.spotify.com/us/download/windows/). When it was downloaded, I right clicked on Spotify Installer.exe and selected Open with Wine Windows Program Loader.3) Once installed I found that running Spotify from the Applications menu under Wine / Programs just resulted in it crashing consistently. The solution for me was as outlined in post 9) above, namely to replace Wine's WINHTTP.DLL with the copy from Windows XP.4) Obtain WINHTTP.DLL . I got mine from my copy of Windows XP (in Windows\system32 folder) but I guess you can Google for it too.5) On Ubuntu rename the current WINHTTP.DLL in $HOME/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 ( I named it WINHTTP.OLD) then copy the new WINHTTP.DLL to that folder.6) In Wine Configuration click on the Libraries tab , in the New Override for Library dropdown select WINHTTP.DLL and then click the Add button. You should now see winhttp listed in the existing overrides as "winhttp(native, builtin)" . If it is not set to this then just select it, click Edit button and choose the Native then Builtin option. Click OK to save your settings.7) Start Spotify on Ubuntu from Wine Programs menu. For me it crashed the first start but on the second start I logged in with my Facebook id and all has been ok ever since.Best of luck all !

The crash is on winhttp.dll. Download this dll using google. Then copy it to your system32 folder under wine. Make a backup of the existing dll just in case. Then go to wine configuration and set it to try native and then builtin for the winhttp library. Spotify then works.

Spotify has always worked very well in WINE (local playback can easily be fixed), and it seemed to me that they always made sure that Spotify was working in WINE. But no we have to hack around. Well, as long as they develop the Linux version I'm good. Spotify Premium FTW. BTW, it’s a shame that we have do hack to make Spotify work.

(Ubuntu 9.10)Actually, when Spotify updated itself I could agree to the new EULA and everything without WINE crashing, but when I uninstalled Spotify and reinstalled, it crashed every time. Copying files from Windows works fine. The path where you find the Spotify folders in Windows XP is a bit different (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data and C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data).The Linux preview version of Spotify works excellent and everyone should try it. My problem is that on Ubuntu 9.10 (my sevrer) it crashes when playing local files. Works fine on my laptop running 10.04. Ubuntu 9.10 is not supported anymore so I should update the server anyway. Works! (Ubuntu 9.10)

See here on how to do it for Ubuntu: http://linuxhub.net/2010/07/linux-gets-spotify-love-install-spotify-in-ubuntu/ If the keyserver fails, try to use another one. keyserver.ubuntu.com worked for me.
