would be cool if all album were presented instead of just one. any plans in that area? :p

add/remove cover button is not easy to hit with fat fingers like mine. cool feature though:rolleyes:

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Am I missing something, or is it just possible to view 100 tracks in the list?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

no 100 tracks is the limt atm. possible to remove the last sound dips too??¿

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Search is limited to 100, i'm not sure about playlists though, does that stop on 100 too?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I bet someone is wondering why no updates is showing up... And i have the answer :)

I'm working on a total rewrite of qtify, now using libopenspotify instead of despotify, and qt4.6(beta) instead of 4.5... This is due to the fact that there was a considerable amount of "persistent" bugs in the libs i used in the first versions... Expect an update in ~1week (or maybe less) :)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Sounds great Hexagoon, thanks a lot for your work in this project, much appreciated!

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Looks like openspotify is way more active in it's development, hopefully it will include offline mode :o

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

great news. most used app for N900...at least for me.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Good work. And if offline mode ever comes, spotify have one more customer, I think they should help with some documentation or so

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

did not know what OPENSPOTIFY was so I googled and found this...ANOTHER Swedish attemp....but do not know if this will be for Maemo

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

No thats only for the Xbox Media Center. It has some nice features though, mixing local files with spotify files is one of them. :)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

hey hexagoon. Any new features in the upcoming update?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Any progress Hexagoon? :)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Any chance this can stream through the builtin FM transmitter? Would make my car journeys immensely more enjoyable.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I believe almost any application that plays sound (besides phone calls) can use the FM transmitter. You just have to manually enable it (either with the widget or going into settings and selecting FM transmitter).

I do it with panucci all the time.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

The FM-transmitter works nicely with qtify.

And now to the progress report.

Done

• Project rewritten from start, now using libopenspotify instead of despotify and qt4.6 beta instead of qt 4.5
  
• I've ditched libao and is now using pulseaudio directly... Waay less soundgaps now my friends :)
  
• The app works awesome linked against the official lib (which isnt available for arm-platform. But the open implementation libopenspotify still has some gaps to fill.
  
• The gui isn't too polished at the moment, a little work left to do here.
  
• The shuffle functionality is finally implemented and tested =)

Left to do before release

• Report bugs to the libopenspotify developer and/or hope that the offial lib will be available for maemo
  
• Reimplement the "remeber password" functionality
  
• Polish the user interface
  
• Re-make the artist and album browse views
  
• Settings dialog for caching and audio quality
  
• Upload translations to transifex and wait for users to complete translations
  
• Create deb package
  
• Upload

Any help appreciated, if you are an experienced c++ developer, don't hesitate to join the project at http://qtify.garage.maemo.org/ :)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I confirm that it works.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Checked and FM transmitter works great, thanks a lot.

Maybe I am missing a trick but is it not possible to sort an artist by rating? Clicking on Rating doesn't seem to do anything for me. That is my usual sort mechanism to get to the most played songs from the artist so was wondering if I can get the same result on the Qtify?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I bought myself a premium account to try maemo spotify client. Is qtify going to be available for free accounts as well? Is there a possibility in the future to have radio like in the win client?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I doubt it, given that libdespotify doesn't support free accounts. Spotify has limited non PC streaming to premium accounts and a) It would be illegal to try to reverse engineer their free streaming b) They can easily change the protocol and block it if they so want

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

radio? offline? creating playlists?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

radio: What?
offline: Not yet
creating playlist: It's coming

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

@Heaxagoon

What about sorting by Most Played/rating? Is that feasible?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

sorting song in a playlist by most played isn't really a part of the spotify api, however there is some kind of private toplist functionality, i'll look that up. Sorting by rating is already implemented in the latest version

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Hmm, maybe its just me but sorting by any field doesn't work for me. Presumably to sort I just need click on the header (e.g. Album, artist, rating etc.?) but that doesn't do anything in my case. Other than that I can't see any other option to sort

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

the new version isn't availble yet. Hexagoon is working on it. he will probably inform us in thread when the update is uploaded. sit tight.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

@Hexagoon

Toplist is not the same thing from what I can tell. Was looking through the libspotify documentation and toplist gives you a list of the most listened tracks, albums or artists by zone or just for yourself. It is a pretty nifty feature to have if you want to listen to the most popular songs in say UK but won't give you the most listened songs by an artist from what I can tell.

However, if I am not wrong, you are implementing the "popularity" XML tag as the field you call rating, right? That tag seems to tell how many times has that song been played, in relation to other songs which are sent in response to the search query. So if that is indeed how you work out the rating header, then sorting by rating should give us sorting by most played (This is what I used as reference)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Oh, well if thats the case, it's already implemented. You really did your research there :) Maybe i should rename the column "rating" to something more appropriate? Ideas? Is popularity a better description?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I would say "Most Played" to keep it consistent with the PC client or Popularity.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

hey hexagoon. any progress or status report¿?¿??

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

To be honest, i lost all momentum when yaspot were released and i had to rewrite the whole program from scratch. Another problem is that my spotify premium account has expired, and i doesn't normally listen to that much music.

The only thing that might get me back on track would be if i got a co-developer to share ideas and workload with.

The new version of qtify is fully functional and a good base to develop further, for any interested developer :)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

I really like your app..... :-)

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Would it be possible to port Qtify to Windows?
I got a carputer and a 7" touch-screen and would love to use Quitify in my car too.

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

since qtify is in Qt4 you just have to recompile it for windows using Qt SDK for Windows and it will work !

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Sounds too good to be true=)
Who's *** do I have to kiss to make this happen?

Re: Announcement: Qtify (spotify client) released
 

Hexagoon what do you say, are there any possibility that you could make a Windows version?
