I will need to look into what can be the cause of these crashes; I have tried to search today using QSpot (the current version) and it worked just fine. I do not have any problems with startup (and this version has not introduced any changes to playlist handling). Could it possible have something to do with use of playlist folders (I am not using those myself at all), or some temporary problem with connections to Spotify servers?

Yaspot uses a different library (despotify), while QSpot uses openspotify.

Edit: Do any of you with problems use something else than stock PR1.3 kernel (e.g., kernel-power; overclocking etc.) ?
