I support this wish list! Im been using your player for 2 weeks now and i must say im really really happy with it! I use mySpot everyday i walk to my job. I really love it, and you! Hope you will upload your next realease soon :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pieteckhart:
great work!

man i was so frustrated all the other smartphones where getting spotify apps! (Iphone, Android, and now even a bulk load of Nokia devices!).

As for me beeing a .Net developer, i was planning on creating a spotify client for windows mobile to!

good to see somone beat me to it ;)

Did you base your work on the despotify project? (Or the java Jottify project?).

that was my idea anyway :P

sorry but i can't keep myself from asking: Can you release your app as opensource? I would love to work on it! Or maybe provide a nice API so other .Net developers could benefit from your work?

i agree with the previous comment about using Fluid, it seems a great UI tool for making a touch app! (btw i was impressed by the scrolling performance as it is now).

please let us know if you would consider releasing the source! :)

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Malibu Matt:
Love this app

hi

I downloaded this app two days ago and i'm very impressed with it.

I've been waiting for a long time for a winmo spotify app to be produced.

Looking forward to future updates!:D

Lets hope spotify officially support this app or atleast get their ass's into gear and make one of their own!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brumbrum:
Nice work!

Is it possible to get the sourcecode for helping out with the project?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snekkarn:
Checking this thread everyday now and still no new release :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Version 0.50b is complete and should be released within the next 24 hours.

There is no plan to release the source code at this time.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snekkarn:
This is perfect, lookin forward to trying it out! Good job on making this Fry ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
There is no plan to open the source code for this project. A lot of the code is based on the myPlayer application - which is why the user interface has many similarities - so it is not an open development at this stage.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 0.50b ***

Change list:

- Play list supported added

- Improved cache intelligence (faster load times)

- Icon navigation replaces text menus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Abba91:
"play list supported added"

Does this mean offline playlist? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samot1972:
Thanks a lot

Good morning Frywalker,

Thanks a lot for your job and congratulations. I am very interes in your program and itss progress, but I would like to make you some suggestions about it.

- Get to play complet songs list or album from and artist after the search.

- Use an internal player in the application.

- See the name of the artist, name of the song and name of the album during the playing. (To get see the artwork of the album too will be wonderful, but I suppouse shold be very complicated)

- Make usefull the next and previous song botons in the player.

I know the difficult of this points, but in that way mySpot will be neraly the perfect Spotify substitute.

Thanks again and congratulations!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepenk:
Great update, thank you for the good work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kentpaulsen:
Playlist..

I'm probably not being clever right now.. but how do I use the playlist part?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This is a feature I will be adding shortly.

I do not intend to code an internal player - as GSPlayer is more than ideal for this application.

GSPlayer will show all this information including the bitrate of the content.

GSPlayer has all the navigation controls required.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samot1972:
Thanks for clarify this points.

I dont know why but I dont see the song informationwhen i chose it from a search... Is it normal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akilles_:
Nice update!

Thank you so much!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikeinashed:
Great work. Do you have any plans for caching the content - offline mode - or is this just not possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Still investigating the possbility although it is looking less likely due to licencing issues.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maxh2005:
I wanted to chip in my twopenn'orth and say thanks to the author for this - I've written my fair share of Windows Mobile freeware in my time and I know it's a somewhat-thankless task.

There's one thing I'd like to know though. Clearly mySpot relies not only on the "official" Spotify servers, but also on some kind of MySpot server; this is mentioned in the thread. Moreover, streaming in TCPMP, I can see that the URL that TCPMP opened was at 94.136.47.110, which appears to be a Sky Broadband IP.

All I'd like to know is: what part of mySpot serving is performed by a mySpot server, and what part by a Spotify server? Is the music stream itself coming directly from Spotify, or via the mySpot server?

I'm particularly wondering if the audio is being transcoded from Spotify format to OGG format by the mySpot server?

In passing, can I suggest that people having trouble with CorePlayer try TCPMP instead? On my vanilla 18-hours-old HD2, CorePlayer *will not* play from mySpot, but TCPMP worked first time, and is doing a fantastic job of handling entire playlists :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
It should just be a case of clicking (touching?) the play list icon and then selecting one of the play lists displayed (or use the info button to browse to individual play list tracks).

You will have to create a play list in the desktop version of Spotify first (if you haven't already done so) as it does not currently support creating / managing them directly.

If you have a play list but it doesn't seem to do anything let me know and I will investigate further.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Yes, there is a service running on a web server that communicates with Spotify on behalf of the app.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XorXaX:
I have also found that Coreplayer is not the optimal program to use to play streams from mySpot. Tried GSPlayer today and I think it is a lot better, you can change song with out problems and you also see the title and artist of a song.

And Fry; thanks alot for this release! My playlists play just great!

Keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
I don't need the original client now! All i'd use Spotify for is listening to some collab playlists, and that's implemented in MySpot now.. Thanks!

Well, offline mode would be awesome too..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mroystein:
Works fine!

The program works very fine! Thanks for the upload :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stekarson:
[late]Really nice update, a fully functional Spotiy client to WM, just love it! [/late]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TTJB:
Just went to try and sign up for Spotify and it says I need an invitation. I would love to try this out, so if anyone could share an invite I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agvar:
You only need an invite for Spotify free. To use Spotify on a mobile you need premium, your mastercard is your invite there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XorXaX:
Spotify is only available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, United Kingdom, France and Spain. To buy Spotify Premium you will need a credit card that is registered in one of these contries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krise:
"Error" ..

The mySpot server is currently full ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TTJB:
Thanks for responses guys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MattiasSod:
Tip!

Mortplayer + Myspot = perfect match!:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
*** Updated to version 0.55b ***

Change list:

- Fixed bug which prevented some tracks from playing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krise:
Will we see a offline mode for this app or is that to funky to get done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pananza:
This application works (somewhat) but is slow as a turtle in a tub of tar (ttt). The application "hangs" unresponsive after nearly every click and just opening a simple playlist takes for ever, even when using WiFi. Is it using your server as a proxy or something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boiso5:
Sounds strange because I have to say that it runs very well on my HTC HD (Blackstone). I am using it with GSPlayer on Duttys HD WM6.5 Leo R7 ROM.

Some figures, to open a playlist with 50 tracks takes about 13 seconds and 7 tracks about 6 seconds. I am using the data connection in the phone for download (not WiFi).

FryWalker thanks for this great application!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pananza:
I follow up my own post and indeed all traffic is routed though his server in the UK. The Spotify Core library is a precompiled Linux library and the only way for us to access music and decode it is via this library. So MySpot sends all requests through his server that in turn accesses Spotify.

You could have noted that on the first post, also that our Spotify account information (including password) is sendt in clear-text over HTTP (not HTTPS). I just had a look at all the communication in Fiddler.

So my slowdown could be because his server(s) were overloaded at that time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Yes, as previously stated the communication with Spotify is via an intermediate server. I will update the first post to make it a bit clearer.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nexxxeh:
I like mySpot (it's which I bought a Spotify account) and I greatly appreciate your efforts in providing us with it as free software so please don't take this as criticism (constructive or otherwise).

If our usernames and passwords are transmitted in plaintext, could encryption be implemented ASAP please? I trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have installed your app on my device, I cannot say the same about the other people on the unsecured wireless networks I join to use your app!

Would it be possible (in the long term) to run our own proxy servers?

To avoid using the office pre-compiled Linux one, there are other options although I don't know if they'll do what you need. From what I understand, the important functions are implemented by despotify and there's a Java implementation called Jotify. Jotify also has a funky webserver version which, when executed, opens up an embedded webserver on port 8080 and will stream to clients using HTML5. Ain't working under Pocket IE though... ;)

I love the app though, and the upgrade from 0.2x to 0.5x has brought it forward in leaps and bounds. :D Mind me asking what you've coded it in?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I understand the concern here. In actual fact the passwords are encrypted before being sent to the server, so even though the communication is currently plain text - the data does have some protection. However I believe HTTPS would be an even more secure solution - especially over wifi - so I am already looking in adding that as an option.

This application is being developed in VB.NET.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pananza:
True, the password in encrypted when sendt to the MySpot server, but in the response from the server the password is in plain unencrypted text.

This is a sample of the requests and responses when I fetch a playlist in MySpot:

---CUT---

I've replaced my username and password in the text above, as you can see the request encrypts the password, but for some reason it's in clear text in the response. Why would the username and password even need to be in the response?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Pananza, you are absolutely right. I forgot to take out the debug during the testing phase for the latest build. The debug has now been removed, so the response does not include any account details. Many thanks for the heads up.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The additional debug (mentioned above) may have also been contributing to the slow response, so hopefully the load times will also be improved now.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karlzzonz:
Song wont play when I am not using WiFi, i have HSDPA there i live.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
I've had no problems with buffering speed or anything, the songs plays smooth and it's allmost faster than using WMP playing MP3's.

The searching and loading takes forever though..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jamesvdv:
Problems Trying To Access New Tracks and Playlists Since v0.55b
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Are you loading the play lists from within the application in both instances? There should be no functional difference between v0.50b and v0.55b with regards to play lists.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
There isn't much I can do to improve the search speed as this is server side, but I am looking in to caching play list information to improve loading times in that respect.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonas9000:
Any workaround of having a "premium account" ?? I have a standard accound, and can not search or connect my playlist, just "toplist" !!! HELP !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I'm afraid not. Spotify only allow 3rd party access to their service by users who have an active Premium account.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonas9000:
Ok, thanks ! See if it possible later on then.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
Is there any way to delete the cache? I try to load a playlist with 161 songs, and it says 161 in mySpot too, but when it opens in gsplayer, it's just 154 tracks.. The newest 7 tracks is missing!

EDIT:

After changing the account, the playlist of the other account still shows.

When i load the same playlist with the new account, it loads 4 of the new songs, but it still shows 154 songs in gsplayer.. that means 4 of the older ones is missing..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
OK, thanks for the feedback. I will fix the play list refresh for the next release.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
I got some additional feedback and a tip:

You could get a temporary solution to scrobbling by talking to the Pocket Scrobbler guys.. I'm at my phone now, so i won't post a link, but it should be the first result when googling it. It's just a small snippet of code:) Ofcourse, it won't work without an internal player. I use gsplayer for playback, and the scrobbling app doesn't recognize the streams as songs. Not even the playlists, where the songs is tagged (somewhat).

Haven't tried any other players, but i think it scrobbles when playing a mp3 in gsplayer.

mySpot doesn't recognize abnormal letters! Symbols and "foreign" letters like ' æ ø å etc. is disregarded.

Album pictures never show on my Touch HD.

Playing albums would be nice:)

You should add artist - trackname to the stram when playing individual songs. (playlists is awesome)

I love your work, and i use mySpot every day. Is there a link to donate in the first post?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Thanks for your feedback, the information about scrobbling should be particularly helpful. I shall attempt to apply as many of these changes as possible in the next update.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
I've done some more testing regarding scrobbling:

Audioscrobbler plugin for Pocket Player (and other apps) doesn't work with the mySpot stream. It doesn't recognize the streams from mySpot as tracks, same as the Pocket Scrobbler app.

Is scrobbling possible serverside? Does your setup know when I am playing a stream and for how long? The Last.fm API should be rather easy to work with :)

I highly recommend Pocket Player for mySpot playback, it doesn't change track instantly at connection problems, but try to buffer it for a few seconds. Fixed my problem with tracks being changed when the network changed from HDSPA to Edge.

EDIT:

playlists longer than 154 tracks doesn't work in Pocket Player either, so now you know it's a mySpot problem.

Oh, and do you need some artwork done? I'm happy to help:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NiW:
Does anyone have this same problem as me ? When I click on the install file in my phone it turns on Opera and it gets all white. ( HTC HD2 )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drrogern:
That's probably not a mySpot problem. I've never encountered that problem before with any cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wilox:
Hope someone can help me with this...

Got a failure message that says "Unable to initialise media stream, myspot failed to communicate with the Spotify service."

Does anyone now why this is?

Thanx in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
Yes, this is still cropping up for time to time. I'm trying to get to the root of the problem. Were you selecting an individual track or a play list? Are you still experiencing the problem?

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kulnog:
This looks great but I can´t get it to work. I can search for songs but when I choose one I get this message:

So I wonder if the server is down or if some of my settings are wrong? I`m using a samsung omnia and I have all the 3g-signal bars.

Ive tried to listen both to lists and individual tracks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kulnog:
I noticed that I could log in with my regular account and even with an non-existing, so I guess thats where the problem lays. Any thoughts bout how to get this right?

Edit: I could be logged on to the computer with the account without it saying that I´m trying to access it from somewhere else so it seems like I doesn't get logged in @ the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
The server was down for a couple of hours yesterday. Please try again to see if you can access the service.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
Any progress on the playlist refreshing issue?

It's seems like it's serverside, deleting the cached playlists on my phone doesn't work. The workaround i use is copying all the files into a new playlist every day before I'm off to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kulnog:
I just tried it and you wouldn't believe how happy I got when the first song started to play! Now I'm gonna try the app out. Thank you fry for making this app! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kulnog:
Works fine to play lists except some songs won´t play and sometimes it changes song when it has just played a few seconds. Maybe I loss the signal for a few seconds or something is set wrong in the gsplayer? I tried to make the buffersize bigger but even att 1024kb it stopped play after 4 seconds. But overall it works just fine and I´m really thankful to you fry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
That's GSplayers fault, it doesn't even try to buffer when bandwith cuts short, or when 3G network changes between HDSPA and EDGE. Try pocket player, it's perfect with mySpot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marhar:
I`m having sort of the same problem

"Service Unavailable

Unable to initialise media stream"

It has not worked for several days now. Doesnt matter if a choose artist, album, track etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marhar:
Hmmm now it workes fine again =)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
Have you decided to abandon the internal player? Would've been great with one, and scrobbling would certanly be easier..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kulnog:
Is the server down? The app doesn´t work at all for me. The phone freezes and I have to restart it. In pocketplayer I can open the list but it´s only like 10 of 250 tracks that will buffer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
Server has been offline for atleast 3-4 hours it seems:/

Btw, found out that the Android version of Spotify didn't scrobble either:/ Kinda sucks when i only use Spotify nowadays, and the time spent listening at my phone doesn't get recorded. Last.fm is my main source of discovering new music:/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nex7er:
O, nice app. Does this have Offline playlist?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salv90:
does this need to be a premium account? I have a free account which lets me log into my spot but everytime I try and listen to a song it tells me to try again later
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kwart1001:
Server does it's thing again. Many thanks for this very nice app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NiW:
Can't install it.

Fixed it. THX :) Works great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syc:
Read the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Fearless Viking:
Thanks

Just installed myspot and finally i am able to play spotify on my htc diamond.

I use it in combination with TCPMP, as GSPlayer gave me error msg every time.

Anyway will continue to test myspot and donate if it satisfies me, and i cant understand why Spotify haven't released a WM client:confused:.

Ps: A nice "bonus" if you search for a song in my spot, anf then select it you are able to download it to your phone HD in .ogg format :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chrisnash:
Can you confirm how you are able to download and save myspot streams in .ogg? Which player are you doing this with? TCPMP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
I have not had much chance to work on the app over the Christmas period, but I hope to return my efforts to development over the next few days. The play list issue will be my first port of call.

The internal player idea hasn't been abandoned but it is certainly one of the lowest priorities, thus unlikely to surface as a feature within the next month. If anyone has the source code for an ogg player in .NET that would help.

-Fry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] haspotify:
Myspot search, playlist etc does not function

I've been looking forward to Spotify on my windows mobile and was glad to hear about Myspot. Today i bought spotify premium and installed myspot on my windows mobile.

Unfortunately I am only able to play the toplist, I don't get access to my playlists and it is impossible to search. I get the following error code:

"Spotify Unavailable

0.55b

The spotify server did not respond to the request. Make sure your device has an active Internet connection and that your Spotify Account is not in use elsewhere.

Please contact skynetinfo@ftml.net for assistance if this problem persists."

Another problem is that myspot only plays one song at a time.

Can anyone help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FryWalker:
This is an intermittent problem that should hopefully be resolved in the forthcoming release. In the mean time you should find that retrying after a few hours should resolve the issue.

-Fry
