I have investigated the shuffling bug, and was able to find and fix one problem that caused the problem as you described it. The fix will be part of the next QSpot version, hopefully it will work better then..

I also tried to look into the jamming problem, however I was not able to get the device into such a jammed state that the screenlock would not open at all. It is however clear that memory usage is not optimized, and it will require a different solution at some point. I used buffer sizes of 30 and 300 secs for testing, with high bitrate 320kbps. Optimization of the use of e.g. memory swapping could possible improve the situation.

It's not about playing one long track. I'm playing mostly my "misc" playlist with shuffle enabled. I have 195 tracks on that playlist at the moment. When I begin listening to the playlist and I put on the device's screenlock and open the screenlock right after, there's no delay. If I let it play couple of songs and then try to open screenlock I might need to wait couple of seconds. If I wait long enough I won't be able to open my device at all, it's so jammed.

I also have the same problem as someone else earlier mentioned. When playing my "misc" playlist with shuffle, the player might start exactly the same song again which just played but show the "next" song as playing song. If I press skip then it will start playing the song that previously was showed in the album art etc. and again there's the album art and song name of the "next" song displayed. Whoah, difficult explanation... I just listened to Madonna's Love Don't Live Here Anymore at the same time Qspot telling me that the playing song is Police's Murder by Numbers... close enough...

This slowdown problem has to have something to do with memory usage as you said. I just connected my N900 to an amplifier at my home and left it playing music at 320kbit as long as it can. It played duplicates, me skipping always when it did so. It didn't actually play a very long time, about 45mins perhaps. Then it stopped. When I opened my screenlock it opened straightaway showing that Qspot had crashed and had a system message in finnish language, my translation follows as: "Action temporarily prevented. Not enough memory."

And another problem that still occurs is when I log in to Qspot, I first have the message "Loading playlists" and then followed by "Timeout occured while loading playlists!". Qspot showing only some of my playlists.

There will still be some minor changes to the artist view (e.g., the album icon will be different); however, I will try to post a preliminary screenshot of the new artist view tomorrow..

I have now added a screenshot of the current artist view to the initial post in this thread.. However, likely some minor change(s) will still be done to the view (it is scheduled for the next QSpot version).

Edit: I had planned the new version to be released next week, but due to problems with recovering some accidentally deleted files, I estimate that the next version will be available in around two weeks time.

I've a problem installing qspot. It just says "operation failed". Can you deduct anything from that? I have no idea what the problem is. It's the latest version I'm trying to install (qspot_0.1.0-7_armel.deb).

This is really frustrating, the main reason I'm paying for Spotify is to get it on my phone.

e: Now it's showing in my applications, but still won't open. No errror message or anything, the phone just returns to the desktop.

QSpot depends on the libopenspotify library, did you install it as well? If you installed qspot from the extras-devel repository the library should have been installed automatically, but in case you downloaded qspot from the garage page you also need to download and install the latest libopenspotify version (which you also can find from the garage page).

Do you still experience the same problem? I have not myself experienced the problem; both today and yesterday playback has worked ok.

no. spotify doesn't want non-paying people to be able to use spotify on their phones. the whole thing is designed that way.
