Clementine Music Player ou Spotify Desktop : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

Clementine Music Player, alternative Linux à Spotify Desktop

Mis à jour le 28 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Clementine is not a direct replacement for Spotify Desktop if you rely on Spotify's streaming catalog and cloud sync. It plays local files and some internet radio, including limited Spotify integration via streaming from third-party sources, but does not support official Spotify accounts, playlists, or offline streaming. It's a solid choice for users who want a native Linux music player for local libraries and internet radio, with advanced features like tag editing and playlist management, but not for those tied to Spotify's ecosystem.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Spotify Desktop

Clementine does not open or import Spotify Desktop playlists or library files directly, as Spotify uses proprietary formats. It supports standard playlist formats like M3U, XSPF, PLS, and ASX, so you can manually recreate playlists in those formats. There's no automatic migration path for Spotify-specific data. Support for importing Spotify URIs or playlists is not available.
