Does this mean we''ll have a spotify client for n900 soon ?

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

Don't know who davdin is, but spotify provides a (closed) library but only for i386 (and working only with spotify premium), so there's a chance to have it running on the sdk (i.e., on i386) not on the tablet.
For that to work they should provide the same library compiled for arm.

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

I tweeted that originally. I just tested some open source solutions, and they work fine.

gSpotify frontend that uses despotify backend is the best suited to work on imo.

here's a screenshot of gSpotify unmodified:

Since despotify works, we already have a client. despotify comes with 2 text based and one maemo4 based clients in the source. all those work, but I like gSpotify the best.

docoma here on maemo.org made it, download it here: http://unntaket.net/gspotify/
you also need despotify from http://despotify.se

The downside with all this great stuff is that you need a premium account for it to work, just like every other mobile spotify clients.

ok.. no images. well here's the sdk screenshot: http://imgur.com/nke5B.png

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

Hmmm.
can anybody explain in SIMPLE words why you need to have a Premiium account .....is is the Despotify that demand that, as even with WINE somebody said you need a premium account....would love to be able to use the free one as on my PC / Lap

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

hm... i think this is how their "mobile" business model happens..

[edit]
like with spotify's own iphone, android, s60 mobile app you know?
[/edit]

maybe those gspotify and whatever are just front ends to some api that requires authentication.. [edit] and since just paid accounts can use the mobile version gspotify/etc are using the same apis given to android/etc [/edit]

or then not... just me and my conspiracy theories..

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

Hi,
My first post to this forum. I have access to both a Maemo 5 device and to a Spotify premium account but I´m an idiot when it comes to linux etc. Could you help out on how to get gspotify and despotify on my device? I don´t get it and unfortunately I don´t have access to a linux PC so I can´t compile... Can you get me the .deb for despotify? I think I got the right gspotify but it says that I need despotify.
Thanks

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

Well, you can't very well run an open source client with ads, since then all you'd just reprogram it to remove the ads and such. Anyway spotify blocks the free accounts in their api. And it makes total sense.

Re: Wine+Spotify+N900=Endless couch time
 

the links say:
Despotify has been blocked for users using ‘Free’ accounts.
You can still use Despotify using ‘Premium’ accounts.

We will not attempt to circumvent this block, nor accept any patches circumventing it. If you disagree with this decision, you are free to fork the code.

I don't mind / would love to be able to use Spotify even with Ads, I just use it as a complelemt to the 12gb MP3 I have on my 16gb card

Anybody know how to compile the above for the N900??

I'm a paying premium Spotify user, this would be great!
