Before running despotify, you have to select the correct audio output:

sudo amixer cset numid=3 <n>where n is 0=auto, 1=headphones, 2=hdmi

To set volume: sudo amixer cset numid=1 75%
To mute: sudo amixer cset numid=2 0

To test digital and analog output:
cd /opt/vc/src/hello_pi./rebuild.shTest analog: ./hello_audio/hello_audioTest HDMI: ./hello_audio/hello_audio 1

If despotify doesn't compile, try this tutorial:

AAaah!! User error! For everyone else facing same problem in this thread... if you signed up with your Facebook ID you cannot use it on Despotify unless you visit Spotify website and choose the 'change password' to force it to give you a device ID and set a password. Log in with these (not your Facebook login details - although this will work you will get warning saying you are not premium - even when you are!)

Now I believe it is playing but I don't get sound. Looking at network traffic I suspect this is working, tried doing "sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835" but so far no dice

Same problem here...I get the notice about not having a premium account, can search and do everything else, but as with others no sound :( anyone know how to.get working on the PI? Wondering if this is something Spotify themselves have done to 'unofficial' clients. Any help much appreciate :)

I get the same thing. With both despotify and despotify-simple.

Is there a way to test the sound easily on the raspberry pi?

Followed the instructions. I can login and see all my playlists but when I try to play I just get silence :( Am I missing something.

There are two clients: one is ncurses, the other is a simple readline client.

Have you tried Shadify? Newly formed opensource continuation of a web based spotify listening.
spotifyonline.co.cc

Based on Servify.

What about the 'Unlimited' accounts (they were announced on 18 May, 2010, a couple of months after this post)?

What's the reason for blocking free acounts? It's merely technical?

There's a typo in the polspot repository url.
The correct url is http://github.com/dstien/po...

Great post :)

I really liked the looks of the old despotify client :(

I'm a premium user of Spotify, so I'm entitled to offline playlists with up to 3,333 tracks. I could use my phone for that, but I'd rather use my Sansa Clip (24 GB) for it. Maybe use rockbox as alternative firmware for the mp3 player, and use despotify music decryption from within rockbox to play the downloaded/offline playlists?

Any ideas on that?

I wanted to try despotify but after the "The despotify client is an ncurses based client" I don't think I will ....

Any comment on the new end user agreement from Spotify that limits the possibility to

"reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify or create derivative works based on the Spotify Software Application or the Spotify Service or any part thereof"

It's under section 12.

Anyone working on support for the q9 streams? Being users are premium members anyway?

What about a randomizer for the despotify-simple? So you start despotify-simple and then:

$list
$list [choose a number]
$shuffle
$play

BTW: Great effort. I have despotify-simple running in the background as I write this.

Plex Media Center ( http://www.plexapp.com/ ) also has a Spotify plugin powered by despotify

Great list!

But all I want is still some added features to the despotify client, like support for playlists and being able to create own queuelist etc. A great ncurses client would be great indeed.
