I like spotify a lot, but was bothering to me a lot that I couldn’t open the links in Chrome…
After trying few solutions (for KDE, gnome ), I finally managed to make it work:
First you need to install Spotify in linux
At the console we create this script:
echo '#!/bin/sh' > ~/.browser2spotify
echo 'wine "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Spotify/spotify.exe" /uri "$@"' >> ~/.browser2spotify
chmod 755 ~/.browser2spotify
Then we change few options from gnome to know what to do with the url’s:
gconftool-2 -t string -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/command "/home/${USER}/.browser2spotify %s"
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/needs_terminal false -t bool
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/spotify/enabled true -t bool
Remember to replace the user name in the folder.
That’s all!
To see if it works, try to open this any from this list:
