Spotify on n8x0?
 
Seems some clever people managed to reverse-engineer the spotify-client and get it platform-independent.

Who'll be the first to come up with a version for our beloved tablets?

http://www.spotify.com

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Firstly the search function is certainly my friend. Secondly this would be a fantastic application for a device whose first and foremost purpose was web usage. This is some what a bump as I don't have the capabilities to get it working (though I'm going to poke around) and I'd love it if one of you guys who knows what you're doing would have a look at it.

Thanks in advance

This makes no sense because Spotify is a x86-32 application and Nokia 8x0 has an ARM architecture.

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
As far as Despotify goes, I think they banned the client, cause it doesn't work for me myself and the creators of despotify haven't done anything.

RichS 2009-04-02 00:14

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Thats certainly a shame. A mobile device with spotify (if permanently connected to the internet) would be a fantastic mp3 player and certainly worth the subscription. I guess we have to hope they release a linux client.

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Despotify is only allowed with a paid account. I actually found a svn revision that would actually compile and I patched it to at least let me get to the main despotify interface and my requests to search were ignored.

RichS 2009-04-03 20:58

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Thats good news right? Could it be packaged as a .deb? I reslise it may be slightly dodgy ground legality wise especially if the despotify guys have been shut down.

So you can still use it even if your say in the US?

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Sure, (if you) subscribe to spotify.

Laughing Man 2009-04-06 02:31

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Sweet, I'm guessing that means you can also use the spotify client? Though I thought there was licensing issues that prevented that in the first place...

qwerty12 2009-04-06 06:44

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
No, the Spotify client is for x86 Windows or Mac. Even under Linux, you're told to use spotify in wine. Hence... despotify!

But if you have a subscription, no one stops you from using despotify and the official spotify client at the same time :)

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
I just made a quick GTK GUI for despotify and made it compile in scratchbox. Works on my N810, although not too stable.
Get it here: http://unntaket.net/gspotify/

You need a premium account to use them though.

Jaffa 2009-07-31 00:26

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
I'd heard of we7.com before - but discounted it (heard "free music" and thought "unknown").

However, it is - basically - a Flash-based version of Spotify, with a broad selection of well known music, which works in the browser...

...including MicroB! (and presumably Tear too)

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
The INQ reprts that some independent developers have released a Spotify-client for Android : http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...-comes-android

When oh, when will we have a Spotify-client for Maemo?

Hi. I installed libdespotify-0.0.300_armel.deb and gspotify-0.0.12_armel.deb but libvorbisfile.so.3 and libncursesw.so.5 were missing after installation.

libvorbisfile.so.3 I got by creating symlink to /usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0.4.0
libncursesw.so.5 I took from raitv_0.15.tar.gz (see: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=27051)

So now I am able to run gspotify. Splash screen appears and I can provide my login and pass. But then it freezes. It says it's loading, but nothing more happens.

My device is N810 and it runs Maemo 5.2008.43-7

Could anyone help me to run gspotify. Thanks.

I've got same problem. Anyone?

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Yes, I am also interested to see a working solution to Spotify, sad that just using Wine and Despotify does not seem to work.
want to trade my 1st generation "jack of all trades" N95 with maybe a N900, and Spotify preferably a free version would be a killer.

despotify works fine in maemo 5 sdk atleast, so it should work on N900

gSpotify is not very stable though. Needs some work before it's useable.

I installed these:
apt-get install libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libvorbis-dev libtool
apt-get install libpulse-dev # For pulseaudio backend
apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-dev # For GStreamer backend
apt-get install libao-dev # For libao backend

and compiled despotify before i compiled gSpotify. don't know if it's the same on N810.
despotify is here: http://despotify.se

docoma 2009-09-09 23:48

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Well, gSpotify was just something I put together one weekend to see if I could make it work. Code is a mess and it crashes constantly.
But the despotify team made their own maemo client afterwards, it's in the SVN. Just uncomment two lines in the makefile to compile it. Only has basic search and play though, but it seems more stable.
I'm thinking about making a proper client out of it when I get the time.

mece 2009-09-10 06:04

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
the maemify client that's included in despotify is a bit too simple, so I liked yours better.

Thank you , even though I have no chance of testing as I do not have a N900 as of yet, it shows that it looks to be possible.
just hope that somebody can make a nicer UI

I did the same and got the same result as bartoszes...

I also tried
apt-get install libvorbisfile3
to get libvorbisfile.so.3 rather than symlink. But the result was same.

Any hint?
or
Could anyone kindly post despotily compiled for N810 in deb/tar?

Just got confirmation that despotify (in xterm) works on an actual N900, so I guess all that is needed is a working gui.

Yes, confirmed (sorry I blurted that first to Twitter and not here :) Thanks to you for compiling it to me!

Yes, GUI is needed though both despotify and simple can be used. How about offline playlists, can they be built on the application side or does that need something more from Spotify?

McChicken 2009-09-21 12:23

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Go Go Gooooo !
plz somebody make a GUI for this, ( and of course with an easy operation and installation)

despotify does not support offline playlists right now, and I'm not sure if the project is under any development. despotify.se seems to be down.

I'm really hoping that libspotify will be compiled for arm though. That would be nice, since then it would be the official supported library, which does include offline playlists.

Thanks for the fast response. Will keep my fingers crossed for libspotify.

Did you try to install libncursesw5 using apt-get?

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
Could any of you post me deb-package of despotify? I've problems with building it from sources and it would be much easier to have the pre-made deb-package.

I also tried to install gspotify which went ok. The problem now is that the splash screen gets stuck on loading configuration. :(

Re: Spotify on n8x0?
 
If any of you clever chaps manage to get a premium spotify account working on maemo (N810 diablo), with some form of offline caching support... and wish to post some nice simple install instructions here for cheapskate freeloaders like me to just install, I for one would be eternally grateful!!!

You would get your reward in heaven, and I might even buy you a few pints!

Any updates much appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Hiya,

I just got testify (a Linux spotify client) to work on my eeebuntu netbook. Is it likely to work on a N900 , could someone try it :)

Download the latest tar.gz file from http://xtestify.sourceforge.net/

Install it as root:

# tar zxvf testify-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz -C /

run it as /usr/local/bin/testify

TIA
