I just want to thank you all that have supported me on the MeeGo device program, as I just found out that I have been accepted in the first round!This way it should be much easier to port QSpot to Harmattan (N9). I really appreciate all your support, it is a great pleasure to develop for this community!
There are already many people with access to both N950 and N9 who can test your packages.

Strange. Anyway it seems that some functionality works ok anyway..
Also in what way did you get the Spotify account, do you e.g., have some US beta account?
i got a Spotify account because it is now available in the US.
i do not get any timeout message when i load Qspot--the list of playlists loads fine, it is just when i go into any individual playlist, it loads no tracks. the page is blank. same for Yaspot. (and there is no timeout message then, either)

Edit: Did check the Hello America playlist by spotify, it does not contains any linked tracks therefore it works ok.

Any help with testing / feedback is greatly appreciated.

Also, if possible, could you provide a link to some of your playlists that do not work, so I could try them out myself to see what could be the problem?

I need to look into adding some debug info to QSpot so we can get more info on what exactly goes wrong when fetching playlist data. By the way does the search function work, can you search for tracks? How soon we can get it to work depends on what causes the problem, and if e.g., the underlying library also needs to be modified.
Logged in from Xterm and it counts number of playlist and then gives me
"metadata updated"
for all (10) of them and then stops. It doesn't show any of the playlist names.
All playlists created on spotify desktop - where some tracks have a link next to them but that seems unavoidable on spotify.
Had this problem for weeks - uninstalled and re-installed and I am on the latest version.

Hi,
Thanks very much, QSpot has become quite usable.
I, too, suffered from this 'playlists fail to load' issue. Even over wlan. I have a lot of long playlists, probably several tens of thousands of songs altogether, so I wasn't so surprised that there were issues syncing them properly. However, all that disappeared a version or two ago, and now it works flawlessly.
Except... every now and then the phone drops connection for a longer period of time, which now causes QSpot to notify "connection lost to spotify backend system", and requiring "done" to be pressed. This prompt will usually be repeated 3-4 times, after which the client either crashes, or throws me back to the login screen. And for the death of me, I cannot understand why anyone would want such a prompt. If connection drops, I want it to silently attempt reconnecting to internet, and then automatic relogin, say every 3-5 minutes. Music stopping is all the clue I need to what's happening. Perhaps an unintrusive "Connection lost... attempting to reconnect in 1 minute" system message would be optimal.
Please, get that right and you have created a perfect app.

I agree that it is very annoying getting a connection lost popup that needs to be dismissed by the user, I will fix the connection lost / re-connect handling for the next QSpot version..
