Thank you, I also enjoy developing QSpot..
Link support can be added to QSpot, and it will probably be integrated into QSpot in some forthcoming version. It would e.g, work by clicking on a Spotify link in microb (or other alternative web browser), and the track would start playing in the QSpot Now Playing view.

This is something that I have not tested significantly yet, but it is part of my current effort to improve on the error handling in general (e.g., handling lost connectionby attempting to re-connect automatically to the Spotify service). Such automatic handling is, however, currently not implemented in QSpot.

I am not currently using the maemo garage SVN for version management, but you can get the latest source code (tarball) from the extras-devel repo (link: http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...qspot/0.1.0-7/). Hope this helps!

Beginnerquestion here from a total newbie when it comes to programming and linuxsoftware: Is there something more than just downloading the QSpot client in application manager to get it to work?
Thanks in advance

In case you have got a Premium account then nothing more is needed than to download QSpot using the App manager from the extras-devel repository. All required (missing) dependencies should be downloaded automatically.

Nice little client you have made aenbacka
Have been using you client since your first release and must say i like what it has become.
The last update made this client my first choice in every situation. Before this update i used yaspot(which like any other spotify client isn't being updated anymore) while driving in my car because it could run on slower networks like EDGE, but now when you included different bit rates for qspot i even dumped my nokia 5800 witch i sometimes used as a in car only phone to listen to spotify.
Only bugs i have found so far in version 0.1.0-7 is:
-random crashes which seems to occur as a result of a slow/loss of network connection.
-sometimes shuffle function starts the next song on the playlist for 1-2 sec before it shuffles. Also when shuffling the client display the wrong album art and song. will have to investigate this further.
-client does not handle changing from 3g to edge or opposite very well and sometimes i have to close and start the client again.
-If I open track 2 in a playlist the now playing window will only show track 2 and all songs below track 2.
Most bugs are related to switching/slow networks so if you mange to get rid of the network problems it would increase the stability of the client a lot
Functions I really would like to see some day:
-long press->add to play now
-jump forward and backward in a track
-organise playlists (is that even possible with a unofficial client?)
-a Qspot web page(easier for user to keep track of changes and development of the client)
Wish there where ways i could contribute to the development of the client. Sadly I lack skills in programming.
Keep up the good work!

Wasn't last.fm scrobbling on the to-do list? Any progress on that front?
I'm a bit fussy about getting all my music listening scrobbled. Once scrobbling support is there I will be upgrading to a Premium account and start using Qspot.
Thanks for the effort so far

Thanks a lot for your comments and feedback! Happy to hear that QSpot works ok for you.
The network problems are known, and I am currently looking into ways to at least improve the current handling of e.g., sudden loss of network connection and switch from 3G to slower connection (random crashes are related to synchronization problems in the openspotify library). The issue that following track played for a few secs occurs when the following track has been pre-buffered by QSpot, and shuffle mode is activated at that point (should also be easily fixed). I have not myself noted the wrong albumart scenario, but I will need to test further.
The Now Playing queue currently works in such a way (similar to official Spotify) that by selecting a track from e.g., a playlist or search result all tracks below the selected track (including the track itself) are added to the Now Playing view. Do you think that this needs to be changed?
I have considered implementing seek in a track in a later QSpot version, and also possibility to add tracks using longpress to the Now Playing view. Play list editing / creation requires changes to the library (not supported at all at the moment), but I am investigating using an alternative api for implementing such functionality at some point.. Also, a QSpot web page could be set up at the project garage site (including e.g,. details changelogs).
