Unfortunately the music industry hasn't understood that things like this would get us to buy more music not less, so they tend to charge anyone that want to show information like this a lot so it's almost impossible to do without some kind of commercial agreement or violating the licenses/copyrights and scraping their web sites for the information. Things would be a lot easier if they focused at selling their music and offered all possible information to third parties to reasonable fees to get help to accomplish that. I'm not sure if 'The Complete Collection' (http://www.sosoactive.com/the-complete-collection-spotify-app-review/) app is provided by Spotify itself or if it's provided by some third party. Spotify apps like this is only available through the computer Spotify client, it's not even available on their iPad client, so it's not accessible through the Spotify API which the Squeezebox Spotify plugins uses.
The best information source for something like this would probably be allmusic.com, but unfortunately their license agreements is totally off the charts if you want to do something in a small company or even worse if you like to do something for free. It's probably possible for Logitech to do something but I think it's unlikely since they seem to be focused more at simple radio listeners than music enthusiasts with their new UE products. The original plan with the 'SMD' (http://socialmusicdiscovery.org) project was to accomplish something like this but unfortunately our progress during the last year has been pretty slow due to lack of spare time and lack of development resources. I think the closest you can get on the Squeezebox today, except for those you mentioned, is probably the commercial 'MUSO' (http://klarita.net/muso.html) Windows application. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97735 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
