Yeah, help with graphics and mostly anything design-wise is appreciated. I'm no artist nor UI specialist and I guess it shows. (over 9000 hours with Inkscape and we have an amazing icon)

I would PM you, but it seems I have to have some public posts before I can use the PM feature.

Well, as I'm going with Despotify library, unless someone extends libdespotify it's probably not going to happen. libdespotify by itself decodes ogg streams and hands forward pcm data, so it should be encoded again to be reasonable to store somewhere. Extending libdespotify to download just the ogg won't probably be accepted to upstream (my guess, I haven't asked) since then it would be even more easy to download stuff from Spotify. (not that it's too hard now either)

But aside that, it wouldn't be too complicated to cache the data to device and use local version of songs.

Is it not possible to add the option to change the sort order (not sure what libdespotify lets you do) as in the default Spotify client? I usually use Most Played as the sort variable to sort on, as that mostly eliminates duplicates and gives me a list of the most popular song by the artist

Also, sort of a bug report. I usually use Yaspot while driving and as part of that pass through a 3g black hole. It is understandable that Yaspot stops playing there, however even when I get back to an area with good 3g reception, the songs keep stuttering and then eventually Yaspot hangs and has to be killed. So not sure what is going on here.

What a great application!

I like the album view, where you can see the album graphics, absolutely great! One idea for that, it would be nice to know, which song is currently being played from the list of songs beside the album graphics. Some small indicator there would be nice :-) Or it could work like the mediaplayer, changing the list of songs to currently playing one by clicking the album graphics?

Well, you can see it by going to playing queue though...

Keep up the nice work!

Newly released version 0.3.0 is very promising!

1/4 second stutter in sound when screen dims is gone!

Very nice job jusa_!

why can't i install Yaspot? i deleted Qtify, but that didn't help and then i installed Qtify again and tryed to install Yaspot... What could be wrong in my N900? Appmanager just says, failed to install Yaspot.

You could try to remove 'despotify' using command line. All despotify related stuff used to be in one package, but later it was split to libs and apps. If you don't know your way around terminal, here's quick instructions: (You'll need 'rootsh' package installed)

sudo gainroot
apt-get remove despotify qtify
apt-get install yaspot

If it doesn't work, please PM me the error it replies.

thank you for your help!

I did as you guided. First i removed despotify and qtify, but actually there was nothing to remove... and then i installed yaspot and this time it worked. I don't know how? This time i only enabled Extras-devel repository and didn't enable extras-testing at all, would that have anything to do with installing yaspot?

But the main thing is that now i got Yaspot installed.

Great job on 0.3, I've noticed a quite big bug though. After you select an artist and play a song from some from some of their album, sometimes it's not possible to play tracks from any other album than the album you choosed from first. The playing song pauses, but nothing happens. This doesn't occur evertime though.

yaspot is great, still a bit unstable at times but perfectly usable, keep up the good work, thanks!
