Spotify is a cross-platform (available for Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows) proprietary music streaming service. It is a freemium product, that is, a free version of it is available, but it has advertisements. To use it without advertisements one needs to pay for Spotify Premium.

Installation

To install Spotify using Flatpak enter the following command in Terminal:
