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