"A bit unstable" is quite an understatement regarding my experience - so far the longest period of yaspot playing a track has been 40 seconds - it basicly dies every time the screen goes off. And it crashes. A lot. And the UI is quite spartan - but hey, this is free and done by volunteers so I don't complain and I can help with testing if there is a productive way to help.

I'm wondering if you have installed other (extra-devel) apps that are conflicting with yaspot in some way because my experience is very different. I have tested it a few times on my wifi and works perfectly, then I've also started using it outdoors on 3G and works perfectly for 30/60 minutes (the longest I've needed it for so far). It crashed a couple of times since I installed it but it's to be expected from any app in alpha/beta.

I agree the UI is spartan but it's perfectly usable and can hopefully be improved in the next releases, I really wanted spotify on my n900 and now i've got it!!!

I use yaspot with wlan and 3g, one month now. Very little randoml stops in playing, sometimes yaspot has to be killed from terminal. If after search I select artist, many times I can not play anything I choose from the list of albums/artist. I'd say 80% usable. Looking forward to updates and new features (offline playlist)

I don't think so - I had qtify but I un-istalled it and all it's dependecies from command line before installing yaspot and I don't have any other extras-devel apps installed at the moment.

The problem is (happens both with wifi and 3G) that playing the music stops after a while - usually this happens when the screen goes blank after idle time. After this the app also quite often freezes and new searches are not possible and I have to kill the app.

is there a commandline -flag to enable further debugging information? running the app from xterm isn't enough for identifying the freezes...

i just tried registering for spotify but says i need a token or an invite can anyone help me out with this please
cheers guys

if you pay for a month? you need to pay to use yaspot.

ok cheers mate

some songs can't be played.

thats all I manage to dig.

(yes, stubled to the old&crazy youtube vid again)

Ok, some comments about freezing and crashing.

First, artist view is really buggy and fine example of how to _not_ do it right. It's just hanging in there pending rewrite. It really should not be used, it hasn't ever worked well.

Second, playback thread hanging. It mostly happens when some things despotify doesn't like to do simultaneously happens. Queuing most actions helps a lot (artist view braindamage doesn't do it). But, despotify thread downloading audio data also "just stops" sometimes. Current version doesn't have any timeout, so when that happens it's pretty much a lost game.

Also, I've noticed that lately playback stops like that quite often after some tens of minutes of playback, I'm not sure why. or if it's happening because of something I'm doing.

But, as soon as I have some time, I'll look into these matters. Despotify is also developed quite much lately which isn't pushed to maemo-extras, that should be done also.. (or use openlibspotify)
