Native spotify for the pandora?

[Viking]

Okey, I know I've asked about this many times,


but is there a possibility that we could make spotify to run on the pandora?


I reeeeeally need it and I have a premium account, so I'm using the offline mode function.


And I've read that there is a functional native version for linux. (worked on Ubuntu Maverick)


If this is possible, i'm so selling my HTC HD2 because that's the only reason I'm still keeping it!

I wish I could use Spotify... stupid America and RIAA dominance...


If the program is closed-source, no. Open-source, maybe. Open-source and linux native, then yes, it's possible.

The current linux native is x86 only, thereby not going to run on the pandora.


There *might* be a ARM compile of libspotify, but it won't happen any time soon. At least that's how I understood what a friend relayed from the spotify devs.

I'd love this too, I guess the stream is DRM'ed?

Well, there is libdespotify, the result of reverse-engineering the spotify protocol. Spotify only blocked it for free users, so I guess one could write a client with that, if it still works.

 

[craigix]

Interesting, I'd like that!

There is a native app for the n900 based on libspotify that should be easy enough to port.

I am certainly part of the "do want" camp when it comes to spotify. Had a totally crazy issue with it this week, it breaks object selection in Fireworks meaning I couldn't work and use Spotify at the same time. Combine that with some colleagues oft poor choices in ambient music and you've got hell on earth. (using the preview release of Spotify to fix it at the moment)


Spotify on the iPad/iPhone is just painful compared to the desktop version, I like to click through lots of related artists and discover new music. Can't do this in the mobile versions

 

[Viking]

Sooo, right now there is none.


But it's possible to port, yes?


If so, DO SO!!!


Only when spotify is working on the pandora, my life will be complete..

Just spotted this: http://developer.spotify.com/en/libspotify/overview/


libspotify can work on arm aparently, you just need a premium account to use it.

I do! I do! But what do I do from here? Don't it need to be in a .pnd file to make it readable? If not, how do you handle tar.gz files?

It's just a library, or one piece of the puzzle if you like. A dev needs to write it into an app before it can be used.
