I want to install spotify and therefor I need to find something called "Software sources". It should be found in dash. But I can only find Software center. In software center I can find "Software sources" and it says installed. I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it.

I can't open it from the software center. And Dash doesn't find it. How can I find it? Totally new at this.

In 13.04, it was renamed to "Software and Updates". It is the same application, just with a different name.

Ubuntu 16.04 and later

Spotfy is a snap package in Ubuntu 16.04 and later. To install Spotify open the terminal and type;

sudo apt install snapd  
sudo snap install spotify

Ubuntu 13.04-14.04

Open the Ubuntu Software Center and from the Ubuntu Software Center menu select Edit -> Software Sources. Or if you are using Ubuntu 13.04 or Ubuntu 13.10, search the Dash for software and click the Software & Updates icon.


To install spotify-client, the Debian/Ubuntu client for Spotify, open the terminal and follow the following steps:

  1. Edit the sources.list file by adding the Spotify repository to it:

    sudo nano '/etc/apt/sources.list'
    

    Add this line to sources.list:

    deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free
    

    Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+O and after that press Enter to save the sources.list file. Press the keyboard combination Ctrl+X to exit nano.

  2. Run the following command to add the Spotify public key:

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
    
  3. Tell your system to pull down the latest list of software from each archive it knows about, including the Spotify repository you just added:

    sudo apt-get update
    
  4. Install Spotify:

    sudo apt-get install spotify-client
