A comment on the idea "COM Interface for developers" in Spotify:

Eeeek! No... .NET is a very bad idea. It's such a slow and bulkey language, which requires .NET frameworks to be installed, it prevents any kind of portability to other operating systems. An HTTP interface would be a much better solution still, from COM.

I have a real problem with .NET, it's just not a well built infrastructure. – psynegy, on July 12, 2009 14:57

A comment on the question "Will there be an equalizer to Spotify?" in Spotify:

Of course you can, there's a technical term "tuning the room" where a mic'ed live performance is being done. Basically determining the rooms resonant frequencies, and using a graphic (usually 32 band) graphic EQ.

So by reducing the level that (per room) resonant frequencies are emitted, you will flatten the response of your speakers. – psynegy, on May 25, 2009 23:45

Did a little digging, found the JS code they use:

function replaceCurrentPageWithUrl(url) {

window.location.href = url;

info("Window History Length: " + window.history.length);
if (window.history.length < 2) {
setTimeout('window.close()', 100);
} else {
setTimeout('window.history.back()', 100);
}
return true;
}

Awesomes :)

I figured it'd be something to do with abums for specific countries, as the covers are different for starters.

I look forward to seeing the more relevant ones! :)

I totally agree Steven, I just thought it would be easier (and more likely) to see it implemented as COM. I'm glad to see that no shortcuts are taken with regards to the coding of Spotify.

Many thanks :)

COM Interface for developers

Much like iTunes, it would be excellent to have a way to interface with Spotify on a COM level. This would allow developers to very easily create such applications as remote controls (from mobile devices or other computers).

psynegy reported a problem in Spotify on May 04, 2009 13:46:

Cannot (but can) play certain tracks in the UK...

From the 'Top lists' songs page, I cannot play half the songs, but if I goto albums, I can play the same tracks without a problem. The error that appears is: "This track is currently not available in the United Kingdom."

:)

Still not fixed it? I often have google left logged in, anyone could click the arrow and press "Edit Settings" and see my password!
