To me its fine to have it in extra dev. But i thought the user base might increase if we promote qspot to testing and later on to extras. )ust wanted to know if you had any plans for moving this. But again there are still a few issues left. so its might be better to keep qspot in dev.

Would it be possible to enable FM Boost from qspot directly when activating FM Transmitter? Would be great and saves couple of seconds of time :)

Also question: What happens if 3G connection is lost (and even edge, happens sometimes when i go around hoods with my bicycle). Does it automatically go up when 3G is available and tries to playback again?

Yes it is true that the user base might increase that way. I have indeed been thinking to promote QSpot at some point to extras-testing. And as soon as the most severe issues with the library have been sorted out (and the Artist View added) I think it would be a good point to move it there..:) That way I would also get additional testing feedback. Thanks a lot for your comments! :)

I am myself using FMTX Faker, which automatically handles the signal boosting when the transmitter is enabled. I guess it would be possible to e.g, add some cnfiguration option whether to automatically run FM Boost as well..:) I will add it to the todo list.

I checked how the library is connecting to the Spotify backend service, and it seems that is trying to connect using tcp port 4070 (however, it tries several different hosts before giving up and reporting backend error). From the logs it can only be seen that it is definitely the Spotify login operation that returns the backend error.

On a related note: have you thought about portrait mode support?

I have currently concentrated on the default landscape mode support, but I have also considered possibility to add portrait mode support (also as a user configurable option). The main / playlist / search views should be quite straightforward to get to work well in portrait mode, however at least the Now Playing view will need optimization. Any suggestions / ideas how the Now Playing view could be arranged in portrait mode? :)

Well, I am not a designer by any means ;) but for me it would probably be enough if the current elements of the Now Playing view were readjusted on top of each other. Cover art on the top, control buttons in the middle and Track List on the bottom. Or maybe the control buttons in the bottom.

One thing about portrait mode: is it possible to open the "status menu" (or whatever it is officially called) in the portrait mode? I mean the control buttons for internet connection, bluetooth etc. Or is this something that Nokia has locked down?

Thanks for the suggestions, I will see what can be done about the portrait mode support..:) The status bar area is not accessible in portrait mode (at least in the current firmware). Hopefully this will be fixed in some later firmware update.

Another feature request: would it be possible to open the Spotify links posted on the web (for example I get a lot of Spotify recommendations from my friends as links on Facebook) or on email with QSpot?

Thank you for your work on this Spotify client, I really appreciate it!
