I'd recomend using a client that has a front end for despotify. Footify looks very interesting and should be close to arriving in the repos soon. Despotify alone means you aill have to use xterm to do everything otherwise which stops it being so functional.

Yaspot and Qtify are other clients you can try although I dont know if they have the updated despotify version so may not work. I also found these two were not so good over 3G and crashed a bit.
