PoisonedV, let me remind you that your warning level is already at 100%, so try and keep away from the off-topic posts and attempts at provoking people.

Nice ad hominem to not answer and redirect (as usual). You cowardly hack.'PoisonedV' said:i think mr. cranky needs a nap

Well, you clearly didn't try it since there is no social networking aspect and it doesn't stream radio (nice try hack). Talking out your ass as usual.'PoisonedV' said:Well, it's a social networking type music streaming site with playlists, streaming music, and radios, so I'd say Pandora or last.fm more or less does the exact same thing, and so I could see why someone in one of its originating countries would want it for regional music, people from the US jumping through hoops to access it doesn't really make sense.
Proving my point: "Then the question is, if you post again, will you actually tell us who did it better and in what way... and how this 'better' is a tangible thing we can all agree on or just some crap you make up to validate the shit comment."'Wertigon' said:Pandora/Last.fm and Spotify are nothing alike, to be honest.
Spotify is an all-you-can-eat smorgasboard. You pick the songs. They play them. It's that simple. It's just like a locally installed music player with access to 2 TB of music...
If you just add my proxy step, you can have it in the US. That, and I saw no adds, they seem to send them based on region, and since Canada and the US are not in any region they have, I bet you're good to go.'hedwards' said:It kind of pisses me off a bit, that because I'm in the US it's not available. Well, not necessarily that, but that it won't even tell me how much the service costs in other parts of the world. As a result I don't really know whether or not I care about not having access.

I still dont understand why you are so angry. And honestly, I didn't think it was that hard to find these sites on your own, because of course they exist on an entity as vast as the internet: seeqpod, playlist, and the already mentioned last.fm. Of course, Rhapsody is similar (especially since spotify seems to be moving more and more towards a paysite instead of multilevel)'Wertigon' said:Pandora/Last.fm and Spotify are nothing alike, to be honest.

i think i destroyed someones life'BackAssward' said:I made no ad homimnems for one reason: Ad hominem means attacking the person not the argument. I made arguments and you attacked me not the argument. You made no arguments to attack only assertions, so you were the only thing left to attack. I didn't avoid your arguments (as you did mine), since there was nothing for me to avoid. You made assertions without support or any complete concept, just a pissing fest... don't worry though, I don't expect you to understand the difference.
Also, nice demonstration of parroting again. You didn't even know the term, yet once I used it you over used it in an an attempt to sound like you're IQ was higher than 85. Using big words doesn't make you smart honey. As for my posts, I can do that without using outside resources for words. I can understand how you'd not be able to understand that, but don't project you're trouble with words on the rest of us. I can use words above the 5th grade level appropriately without difficulty or help.
Have a nice day Mr Parrot. How many times did you have to read the definition of ad hominem before you 'thought' you understood it I wonder. Regardless, you humour me quite a bit, but this is getting to the point that it doesn't provide value any longer (I understand you don't get that concept either).
Edit: Oh, I still don't see you saying how any other service was 'done better' as you initially posted. All your posts after were redirection and scrambling to make up for a thoughtless shit post. So, you ever going to answer that? You already said a bunch of things about Spotify in a way like you knew, that were completely wrong, but you ignore that fact, like a good little troll.
Edit2: To be fair, if I did make ad hominem attacks, I did them *while* attacking your assertons (think of it as icing on the cake). Where as the nap comment was a pure ad hominem with no addressing of any statement. Pure ball-less redirection, nancie. Oops, was that an ad hominem?
Also, it is clear that you are disingenuous. That you're re-read your own posts, ignore the meaning of what you posted only look at the words, to see what wiggle room you have in what you posted. Sort of revisionist-history like, so that you can deny you tried to say a certain thing (e.g. the 'regional' comment). Very intellectually dishonest.
Quick lowdownMithrildor said:Bump. Now that the Pandora is out and Spotify is out in The Netherlands I really want this!
http://despotify.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/despotify/src/bindings/python/
Thats the python source of despotify
NLS said:I've been using Despotify on my Ubuntu install without problems. It requires you to have a Premium account though, but I got one already
Would be nice to see if anyone can get one of the clients listed on despotify.se to work on the Pandora now that it has been shipping out.
Yep we are going to have multiple app that does the same thing. It's always been like that and that's not a bad thing. Exaile might be available, but if some aren't happy with it, they'll port or code another audio player.maplesugarlover said:Doesn't exaile have free internet radio built in ? Do we need an extra app just to play 1 service. What is this the iphone. Are we going to have countless apps that duplicate functionality or are websites. Exaile is also a library based player that's on the file archive and the app store. Just download the pnd and remember that you need to install the codec pack for exaile to work , but I don't know what I'm talking about so lets have an app for every single thing .

Games are different than other types of software and I'm fine with apps that do similar things. Sometimes you use mousepad, sometimes you use abiword . Besides I didn't realize that spotify is different from internet radio. Also I think the open platform is one of the Pandora's best attributes.KodeIn said:Yep we are going to have multiple app that does the same thing.

I mean it's an open platform, anyone can come make his own app and distribute it!
Following your way of thinking and pushing it to the extreme, we would have only 1 platformer, 1 RTS, 1 FPS, … just because there is already one game that have this kind of game play.
Most likely you could make a plugin for various Music Mangers, if they've worked out the protocol.maplesugarlover said:Doesn't exaile have free internet radio built in ?
