Introducing Ubuntu Spotify Scope for Unity

Following our previous articles, Ubuntu DeviantArt Scope, Ubuntu SSH Lens, Ubuntu Binary Clock Lens, Ubuntu YouTube Lens and Scope, Ubuntu Calendar Lens, Ubuntu Web Sources Lens, Ubuntu Gwibber Lens, Ubuntu Books Lens, Ubuntu Cities Scope, Ubuntu Grooveshark Scope, Ubuntu Calculator Scope and Pirate Bay Torrents Lens for Unity, today we are introducing the Ubuntu Spotify Scope for the Unity interface.

Ubuntu Spotify Scope is a Unity Launcher plugin and an add-on to the Unity Music lens that allows users to quickly search and access Spotify songs, filtered by Spotify's generes and decades sections.

To install the Unity Spotify Scope plugin in your Ubuntu operating system, open a terminal window (hit the CTRL+ALT+T key combination) and paste the following commands (one by one, hitting Enter after each one):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scopes-packagers/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y unity-scope-spotify

You will also need to install the official Spotify client (spotify-client-qt) and restart your session after the installation.

Be aware that it is available ONLY for Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin).
