Unfortunately, Spotify doesn't provide an official app on Chromebooks. Then you may ask: Is there a way to enjoy Spotify music besides using the web player on a Chromebook? Of course yes! In this article, several workable ways will be introduced to help you download the Spotify app on your Chromebook. In addition, the blog will also show you how to download songs on Spotify for Chromebook to listen offline. Just scroll down and read!

Part 1. Stream Spotify on Chromebook via Spotify Web Player

To enjoy Spotify music on your Chromebook, the easiest way would be to use its web player. This will free you from downloading and installing any software or program on your computer. All you need to do is to open a browser and go to Spotify's official website. Then you are ready to go! But note that the Spotify web player does not allow you to download songs from the platform. You can only listen to all Spotify content online. Below are some basic steps to enjoy Spotify via its web player.

Step 1. Open a browser on your Chromebook, be it Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

Step 2. Type in "open.spotify.com" in the address bar and hit Enter. Then you will be directed to Spotify's official website.

Step 3. Log in to your Spotify account. Now you can search for and listen to the songs you like.

Part 2. 3 Ways to Download and Install Spotify on Chromebook

Since Spotify doesn't provide an official app for Chromebooks, you can't directly find it on Chromebook's app store. Instead, you need to get Spotify for Chromebook in other ways. Now, you will see how to do it properly by following the steps provided below.

Get Spotify Web App on Chromebook from Browsers

If you use Google Chrome, you can easily download and install a webpage on your device as a PWA (Progressive Web App). That means you can get the web app for Spotify on Chrome, too. However, note that this is more of a shortcut to the Spotify web player than an independent app. For this reason, you can't download any song from Spotify with this app, either. To get the Spotify web app, follow the steps below.

Step 1. Open Google Chrome and visit the Spotify web player.

Step 2. Click on the "Download" icon on the right side of the address bar and then hit "Install" to confirm.

Step 3. Now you can directly access Spotify via this web app.

Get Spotify for Chromebook from Google Play Store

Luckily, although the Spotify app is absent from Chromebooks, its Android version can also work smoothly on the devices. So instead of waiting for the official Spotify app to be released for Chromebook, you can install the Android app from Google Play Store by following the steps below.

Step 1. Open "Launcher" on Chromebook and then go to its "Play Store".

Step 2. You can directly search the Spotify app using the search box.

Step 3. When you find the Spotify app, directly click to install it. Then you can use Spotify directly on your Chromebook to play music as normal.

Install Spotify on Chromebook Through Linux

This method requires you to install the Linux system on your Chromebook device first. After the installation, you can download the Spotify app on the Linux system. Compared with the above method, it would be more complex to process, so it is more recommended for those who have to get the Linux system installed in advance to try.

Step 1. You need to add the Spotify repository signing keys on your Chromebook to make Spotify downloads be able to verify.

Step 2. In the "App Drawer", find the "Terminal" app and then open it to enter the command below:

sudo apt-key adv -keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 -recv-keys 931FF8E79F0876134EDDBDCCA87FF9DF48BF1C90

Step 3. Get the list of the packages updated by entering the command:

sudo apt-get update

Step 4. Once this step finishes, you can begin installing Spotify on your Chromebook. Simply enter "sudo apt-get install spotify-client". Once the installation is completed, you can use the installed Spotify on Chromebook to play songs without any limitations!
