If you want a small and fast Spotify client this is something for you. The latest version, 0.0.5-3, is available for install from Extras-devel.

A premium Spotify account is needed to use this client.

Functionality:
+ Navigate playlists and search results in a finger friendly way.
+ Close the currently selected playlist by swiping from right to left over the screen.
+ Play songs from playlists or search results (with cover art).
+ Previous and Next song buttons.
+ Somewhat experimental Shuffle (activate it before starting the first song and expect varying success).
+ Repeat for playlists.
+ Remembers user information.

To be added:
* Local meta-data cache.
* Portrait mode (in the future).
* Displaying of more meta data (artist photo, suggested searches)

Known issues:
- Some parts of the GUI aren't always updated to reflect the current state of things. This might, for example, leave the Play/Pause button in the wrong state.
- A new search result is shown with the same scrolling position as the last one.
- Tracks are shown even if they aren't available to play.
- Sound stutters when the lid is opened or closed and when the screen is dimmed.

The project Garage page is https://garage.maemo.org/projects/footify/ and the Developer thread, with some screen shots and feature requests and general discussions about functionality, can be found at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=52917 .

Perhaps you should mention that you need a premium account for this to work? (assuming Spotify have not changed their policies)

Second paragraph says exactly this. In bold. Or am I missing something?

Didn't see it before so either I was temporarily blind or you edited it

another thread?

ok. nice work. testing it now. working pretty good.

*if last track in a playlist finish...client freeze

Ah, I did edit to add it but I did it very quickly after first posting.

So, my bad, too, I guess.

This thread is to announce that footify is available in Extras-devel. The other thread is for development issues.

Does it freeze as in you can not start a new song or does it just stop playing? Does the same thing happen if you activate Repeat?

you have to restart footify. Same thing with yaspot and qtify.

Ok, that sounds like a problem in libspotify if all three clients have the same problem. I'll investigate.

don't know if any one else having problem installing footify from the repo. I get an error message telling me the install failed due to damaged files.
