@Siggen
Yep thanks - me being lazy to think that spotify would work under wine on the n900... doh!
and yes good point on the mac emulator i linked to.

to be honest, this topic has been around for a while and I'm sure all of these avenues have been explored - thus if you could emulate the mac or pc editions somebody already would have.

so... despotify with the paid is the only way to go. humphf.

Re: Spotify client
 

if you find a petition or something to get an official port of spotify to the N900, I will sign it just for the sake of the N900.

Re: Spotify client
 

You need a premium account to get spotify working on your n900. Though it seems that a lot of people are having some strange issues with current Yaspot ot Qtify applications. Some get an error message saying that you would be required to update your program. Mine is working well with yaspot though.

Re: Spotify client
 

ok thanks.

I'll try this later :)

Re: Spotify client
 

I upgrade my account and install despotify and qtify.

Searching and playing sound work but i have no sound.

And in the console i have a message : ao_play() failed

Any idea ?

Re: Spotify client
 

A little Google suggests that that is libao, a cross-platform audio framework, complaining about not being able to play the sound.

This might be one of many problems: too new libao, a libao that doesn't handle a newer PulseAudio correctly or the qtify client not doing what it should to set things up.

(For the curious, I found this code: http://svn.xiph.org/tags/ao/libao-0.8.6/src/audio_out.c )

libao0 is maintained by mickewiki at gmail.com. Perhaps he can supply you with some help?

Re: Spotify client
 

How should despotify be installed? Any easier way than getting it from the version control and compiling it myself?-) I could then get the premium version again, at least every now and then. I loved it on Symbian!

Re: Spotify client
 

I did this :

apt-get install libao02

And rocks'n roll :)

Re: Spotify client
 

just fire up xterm, root, and type apt-get install despotify
it installs all dependencies it needs. yaspot works better than qtify if you ask me, though neither works for me now. client upgrade...

Re: Spotify client
 

Thanks FauX.

I installed yaspot and indeed it is better than qtify.

The sound is better.
