I've posted a new beta release which should be available from the plugin
page as before.

This release supports windows, linux (i386) and mac (ppc, i386,
x86_64)

Major changes:

1) Playlist handling is changed internally with the aim to ensure
titles and other details are displayed more consistently in the
playlist view.

If you have large Spotify playlists then you may find you need to
enlarge the Maximum Tracks setting on the settings page (initially
500).

2) You can now add Spotify URIs for external (other user's) spotify
playlists.

This is most usable via the web interface and allows you to share you
playlists.  The plugin remembers the last 20 playlists added (select
remove from within the playlist to remove)

3) Advanced Spotify searches can be performed.

This is for power users and I've hidden the menu for this unless you
select the setting "Advanced Search".  With this you can type in raw
spotify searches such as genre:techno and get all the albums, artist or
tracks which match.  Note that there is no limit on the number of
matches which it tries to get, so if the search terms are too general
it will take a while to return the response and it may cause the server
to use additional memory.

4) The 20 most recent searches are remembered as "recent searches"

5) In an attempt to improve stability, if the helper app is unable to
play a stream it will be restarted.  You then need to press play again,
but this is aimed at improving the chance of being able to play
streams.

There have been a number of internal changes too, but these won't be
visible.

As before feedback appreciated....
