Hello,

I am the developer of QSpot for N900/N9. Currently, due to limited time, I have not been able to update / fix issues with QSpot. QSpot for N900 uses an older libspotify version due to problems compiling against the current one (reason is incompatible libc versions). This could be the cause of some of the issues (changes at Spotify backend side). I am actively using the N9/N950 version of QSpot still (almost daily) and have never experienced the issues you mention, so it seems to be N900 related. I will need to test it (I still have my N900 device), thanks for the feedback. Do you know how to reproduce the issue with two tracks playing at the same time?

I have noticed issues with qSpot, is there an active developer for this project?



I have experienced this twice now.

Also I have had issues with..

*randomly resuming play when I end a call even tho I had paused it.
*resuming play not working from the pause/play button after a period of time.
*pulseaudio at 33% CPU all the time even when not playing, poor battery life due to this.
*new playlists appear as blank names - restarting qSpot fixes.
*application crashes if you make a playlist offline from another client and then try to open it with qSpot.

I am sure there are other glitches I have experienced but not reproduced.

IMO it would be nice if Spotify/libspotify linked into MAFW/OMP to play it's tracks
I am really missing the ability to skip tracks and pause from hardware buttons and all the other features OMP provides, lyrics, views etc, etc.
