Spotify on Xbox!

A video of my Xbox running Spotify. Everything works, from playlists to radio.

Actually, the Xbox is running WINE on top of Gentoox Home (a linux distro).
WINE is basically an application for Linux capable of running Windows (EXE) executables.

Still, quite a feat for a device that is almost 8 years old and has 64 MB of RAM.

I had some problems previously with the sound being choppy and skipping, but I resolved this by tweaking some WINE settings. I had to unfortunately change the sampling rate to 22050 Hz from 44100 Hz, but it was worth it. It would also seem that running simultaneous apps, such as Mozilla Firefox along with Spotify will cause the sound to lag a LOT. Then again, Firefox doesn't really even run properly on the Xbox.

What window manager are you using? It looks like XFCE but I can't really tell.

I knew someone who ran GentooX on their Xbox, but the X server was lagging the entire time they ran it. What's your xorg.conf look like?
