libspotify 0.0.7 - Welcome ARM
February 12, 2011, 13:59 by Andreas Öman

Today we are happy to announce libspotify’s support for the ARM platform. So now is the time to bring those Beagleboards of yours back on the table and start hacking. On top of this libspotify now also supports querying for the list of playlist subscribers and we’ve filled the inbox feature gap.

Download the new version here.

A short summary of the ChangeLog

ARMv5, ARMv6 and ARMv7 support
Playlist subscribers
Inbox messages and read/modification of track ’seen’ status
Support for creating playlist folders from the API

There is also an important API change in how playlist notification callbacks are handled. Please read the ChangeLog before upgrading your application to 0.0.7 (but that’s something you always do, right?)

The ARM release should be considered beta as we have not been able to run the binaries on proper hardware for all of the three ARM versions released. If you notice anything strange or have a problem, please let us know on our Spotify API forum.
It is indeed really great that libspotify has been released for the arm architecture. From a technical point of view it would be no problem to switch to the official library as openspotify is api compatible; however, the current terns of use does not allow the library to be used on mobile internet devices (and N900 belongs to that category). Florian did post a question about this on the spotify forum, and they responded that they will consider a change to the usage terms. Hope that this clarifies the situation.
