It's in Port Request section of wiki.

Yes, as long as the source code is available.

Here lies the source. Wikipedia states the software as proprietary so I'm not certain about ... hmm...

"System requirements

The system requirements for the desktop version are Windows XP (or newer) or Mac OS X 10.4 (or newer). The program can also be run on Linux and FreeBSD using Wine and the Spotify website has a section devoted to this topic.[25] Cache size and location is configurable. 1 GB or more disk space is recommended. On Mac OS X, a G4 processor or higher is required."

Nope. Not yet, anyway h34r: (Ninja'd)

Developers interested in using libspotify can head on over to our developer site for more details. Initially we are offering support for Linux on IA-32, but we have plans to open up Spotify to more platforms and provide additional access to our services in the near future.

It's all up to only them since it's all closed-source.

It also exists for Linux in a terminal version called despotify

despotify should work, but it's unofficial.

No, it wont work. Spotify have released a library that will allow developers to write their own frontend, but despite having ARM versions of Spotify already out there (iPhone app), we're not seeing support for this in the library.

At the moment, only Linux on IA32 is supported. Our goal is to support a host of additional platforms in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have Spotify on my pandora, but it's not going to happen before the devs decide to release an ARM build of the library, or preferrably, the full source. It's not possible as it stands right now.

EDIT: You could port Despotify, but it's blocked for use if you don't have a premium account.

ah, it even runs greate on my old Symbiam phone N95 8gb.
But it would fit the pandora quite nicely, dont you think?

All other non-x86 (iPhone, Android ++) versions also require premium accounts
