Looks like we don’t have to pay for an account anymore! Too bad they don’t have an rpm built yet 😦 but it looks like a Fedora rpm is at least on the way.
1. Install dependencies
zypper in libcryptopp-5_6_1-0 rpm-build alien
2. Get the debian package from Spotify
wget http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/spotify-client_0.8.4.103.g9cb177b.260-1_amd64.deb
3. Convert the debian to an rpm
sudo alien -r spotify-client_0.8.4.103.g9cb177b.260-1_amd64.deb
4. Install the rpm
sudo zypper in spotify-client-0.8.4.103.g9cb177b.260-2.x86_64.rpm
5. Link dependencies
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnss3.so /usr/lib64/libnss3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libplc4.so /usr/lib64/libplc4.so.0d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so.0d
6. Run Spotify!

Enjoy!
Hi – I have built an installer for openSUSE which takes all the hard work away:
https://github.com/aspiers/opensuse-spotify-installer
It generates a proper rpm which is much cleaner and more conformant than the one produced by alien.
I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like a much cleaner way to do it. Thanks!
