This is one reason I deleted my Spotify account and will not sign up
until something accessible comes along. I liked some of their features,
like the ability to stream an entire album, but all this is only
possible with their own client, which as you have found out is
marginally accessible. Let's hope Gw Micro or the user comunity develops
an app or two of some kind.

Dear all,
First time poster on this list, so please be gentle with me. :)
Could the list offer any advice on using the Spotify software?
I am using the standard version with the latest Window eyes. on my XP
machine. the software seems in order; it's the user interface which is
the problem. for example, the file, edit etc menus cannot be accessed in
the standard way (i.e. with the alt or alt shortcuts), you have to focus
the mouse pointer on the menu title and left click, which is fine by me,
but I can imagine it might annoy some people and justifiably so. As for
playlist management and similar functions only a handful of tasks are
accessible and that's not without a considerable amount of fiddling with
the mouse and redrawing the screen repeatedly.
If I'm not mistaken Spotify offers an SDK/API of some sort which can be
used for developing a more usable version of the software, similar to GW
Connect which we all use and love. I for one would certainly be willing
to pay (within reason) for a GW version of the spotify software.
Sincerely
Matt Williams
