Alexander Forselius gave praise in Spotify on November 21, 2009 13:56:

Tracks are back!

I finally got new darude tracks.

I finally think the problem with gone tracks, is not only the evil labels, the labels licenses cannot be reproduced due to the samplings in the tracks, a cool track could contain samples that are restricted for the label to use....

I thinks this is the answer to why some tracks never appears in some countries and some tracks aren't anvaliable for digital consumption, the tracks are produced in a way where the sampling authors has prohited the producer/label to license the tracks except for specified in the sampling agreement.

check out Fire Spot, it's a plugin in alpha version by me which let you search spotify from small icons placed behind content it thinks are track descriptions...

Spotify @ Nintendo DS

This seems to be amazing console. I really want a spotify version on the awesome portable console, so you can download tracks when you're connected to a wlan and run them locally when you're not offline like iPhone...
Not all peoples are fans of Apple or Android, so this is a welcome factuality.

Alexander Forselius replied on November 18, 2009 19:08 to the question "Shingo Nakamura Music" in Spotify:

Spotify cannot add music on requests because the anvailability of music is controlled by the labels.

Look up the label behind the track you want to have added and tell them why they should partner with Spotify!

I'm currently in sunday development of a widget which will allow you to make a "radio station" from a particular year or search, which control spotify by a vista gadget.

A comment on the idea "Personal radio station" in Spotify:

I'm currently working on a gadget which adds a factuality to create a custom radio channel by year and optional search parameters.The only drawback is that the spotify window will be shown when changing the track through uri, something you would give a option to disable? – Alexander Forselius, on November 15, 2009 13:42

A comment on the question "payment method security" in Spotify:

but there is issues such that you not can prevent other peoples who have access to your session to use your credit card for download. This must be fixed in some way – Alexander Forselius, on November 12, 2009 09:39

Alexander Forselius asked a question in Spotify on November 11, 2009 13:27:

Spotify ready for playing purchase file, so why not import local files?

Why can't you allow import of local files when you implemented the purchased feature?

Alexander Forselius asked a question in Spotify on November 10, 2009 20:45:

What decides if an album is able to be purchasable?

On some tracks, such Andrew Bright "Dance my Lizard", I don't get any buy now button, even if the album already exists in the 7digital storie in my territory. What are required to make a particulary track to be downloaded through spotify?

More recommondations and promotion factualities would be awesome

Spotify seems to be a "order catalouge", where it's very fast to find content when you know what you're actually looking for.
But in comparation with other stories and service, spotify lacks important "browsing and promotion" features such "in application pages", with bios, professional recommondations and more images.
