footify, a Spotify client based on despotify
 

If you want a small and fast Spotify client this is something for you. The latest version, 0.0.5-3, is available for install from Extras-devel.

A premium Spotify account is needed to use this client.

Functionality:
+ Navigate playlists and search results in a finger friendly way.
+ Close the currently selected playlist by swiping from right to left over the screen.
+ Play songs from playlists or search results (with cover art).
+ Previous and Next song buttons.
+ Somewhat experimental Shuffle (activate it before starting the first song and expect varying success).
+ Repeat for playlists.
+ Remembers user information.

To be added:
* Local meta-data cache.
* Portrait mode (in the future).
* Displaying of more meta data (artist photo, suggested searches)

Known issues:
- Some parts of the GUI aren't always updated to reflect the current state of things. This might, for example, leave the Play/Pause button in the wrong state.
- A new search result is shown with the same scrolling position as the last one.
- Tracks are shown even if they aren't available to play.
- Sound stutters when the lid is opened or closed and when the screen is dimmed.

Perhaps you should mention that you need a premium account for this to work? (assuming Spotify have not changed their policies)

Second paragraph says exactly this. In bold. Or am I missing something?

Didn't see it before so either I was temporarily blind or you edited it :p

Ah, I did edit to add it but I did it very quickly after first posting.

So, my bad, too, I guess. ;)

Re: footify, a Spotify client based on despotify
 

This thread is to announce that footify is available in Extras-devel. The other thread is for development issues.

Does it freeze as in you can not start a new song or does it just stop playing? Does the same thing happen if you activate Repeat?

Re: footify, a Spotify client based on despotify
 

you have to restart footify. Same thing with yaspot and qtify.

Re: footify, a Spotify client based on despotify
 

Ok, that sounds like a problem in libspotify if all three clients have the same problem. I'll investigate.

Re: footify, a Spotify client based on despotify
 

don't know if any one else having problem installing footify from the repo. I get an error message telling me the install failed due to damaged files.
