[QUOTE="deadkenny, post: 500402, member: 88839"] On the subject of the linux API, would cygwin be a solution to using this? I've not looked at the linux API however and it would require the source to compile under cygwin. However I think the way Spotify are going is to do deals with various vendors to link into their product, thus ensuring revenue for them which in turn goes straight into the pockets of the studios. Would be fantastic to have a Spotify plugin or connector though. I'm waiting for one for SqueezeBox / SqueezCentre too. The Spotify dudes have said that support for other devices is on their list of things to do (that was in response to questions about SqueezeBox etc). I suspect it will happen as it will involve a deal with Logitech. Have to admit, despite my reservations about being stuck with their own client, I have fallen in love with Spotify. It's quite different from last.fm as you can play almost everything you want (with some exceptions for licence reasons), though I use that also but mostly just for the "scrobbling" side. It's very revolutionary. I wouldn't be surprised if it's hitting piracy quite hard, and maybe CD sales too. Though I still like my CDs for stuff I'm serious about and rip them to lossless formats.
