So now I have been looking more closely at the problem causing the device to become unresponsive. I have located a memory management problem in the openspotify library used by QSpot; this problem can lead to the device eventually running out of memory after some time of playback.

I have now fixed this particular problem, and an updated version of the library is available from the extras-devel repository (as well as from the project garage page). The new version is 20101221-1 and it can be installed for use with the current QSpot version from the x-terminal (as root):

apt-get update
apt-get install libopenspotify

Hopefully this fix will have an impact on the responsiveness issues..

Will you release an updated QSpot with the newer library integrated anytime soon?

Well I am aiming for an updated QSpot version in the coming days, which will include a dependency on the new library version..

In case it seems to work ok for you then I do not see any reason for immediate update; however I will put out an updated QSpot version (possible today or tomorrow), and the new version will depend on the updated library.

Also, I don't know whether anyone else has mentioned it but would not a better default behaviour at start to be to automatically log on if you have chosen to store your credentials, and stash the login details in preferences?

The current behaviour is a bit like the Nokia lock screen which spends a couple of seconds telling you that you've unlocked the screen

That was a good point, I could change the login behaviour in a later QSpot update..

QSpot version 0.2.1-1 is now available from extras-devel and from the garage page.. Changes are as follows:

* Updated libopenspotify dependency.
* Modified Now Playing handling; when a track is selected for playback from a playlist, all the tracks from the playlist is moved to Now Playing (and the selected track is activated).
* Modified Artist View handling; albums are now sorted under categories 'Albums' (the browsed artist's albums and singles) and 'Appears on' (all other albums on which the browsed artist appears on).

ok ... so my 2 secs feedback:

Playlists: work better, I get more playlists, but do get a timeout from time to time (what about running that process in the background?)

It seems to me though that I get more segfaults when switching between tracks. Not 100% sure though, might just be because I skip more.
