I had hopes something more could come of this - If they are embracing the Linux platform it surely wouldn't take much more for them to start embracing the Maemo platform and i guess they will have to eventually when MeeGo is around.

Correct but currently all the offerings by the community miss out on a number of features which are available in official clients.


Please can we link the two spotify has come to Linux threads useful info going on in each of the threads.

all we would need is offical spotify lib instead of reverse engineered ones available plus tiny modifications to apps and we would have good enough spotify (or many, at least 3 clients are available to n900 atm)

Spotify supplies libspotify for anyone to download. At the moment I only know of X86 compiled versions, though.

But, to use it, you need an application key that you need to apply for. I'd say this is the big stumbling block.

It is true that the major problem with Spotify on the N900 is the underlying libraries. However, if the official library was made available for the armel architecture, only minor modifications would be required to client apps (at least in case of QSpot, as the openspotify library is API-compatible with the official one). It should be noted though that even the official Spotify library does not currently support offline mode.

In an optimal situation Spotify would just appear as another Music source for the Maemo Media Player, not its own app. Integration, a bit like we have with Skype in Conversations. That'd really showcase the power of the platform vs. "App Phones" :D
