The Birth of Spot, the iPhone Spotify Client

Official site: http://spot.thirdcog.eu/

I spent the night hacking some Cocoa, trying to get despotify (despotify.se) working on the iPhone. A few hours on the UI and *quite* a few hours on the AudioQueue driver, and it's working!

i cant find it on cydia ;/ can i get it anywhere else?

[nevyn]

@Raffa98 I've removed it from Cydia because it has no use now that Spotify has its own official iPhone app on the appstore (I work at Spotify on this official app). If you *really* want to try it anyway, you can compile it from sources: github.com/nevyn/spot

[rekingooo]

How hard is it to change the source so you can use this with a free spotify membership?

[nevyn]

It is impossible, by design. Spot can't play ads, and thus using Spot with a free account would mean using Spotify's service without paying; that's not okay.

[Runaldo77]

how do you get it?

[nevyn]

Jailbreak your iPhone, open up the app Cydia now on your desktop, and search for "Spot".

[darkfunkychimp]

yes

[cammomile]

although a quick response to those three statements is...

it's free. its still got waaaaay less ads than the radio and waaaaaaaaay more songs than my ipod and tbh i use my computer a lot so i dont care about not technically owning them

[TadH]

Well that is true, an opinion is never stupid! :P

[TheLaughingMan84]

Thoose three last words (without counting the elipsis) made my heart skip a beat <3 :')

[vegard930]

I dont' care why!! :P

the facts still remains, and I have my right to not like Spotify without being called a jackass.

But ok, were not going to agree, so laugh all day about the guy who doesnt like spotify, but don't answer if you have a life. im outta here...
