As things stand, you can't install jmtpfs. You would need backports. There
are various things you would need to do!
I am very busy over the next two days, and you need more than a quick answer.
I'll get back onto you over this and spotify in a few days time if you have
not already been satisfactorily helped and sorted out by then.
You are clearly more of a newbie than some people are allowing for. And
jmtpfs may not be the only answer.
