An idea that hit me, why not base the music player on Clementine? Apart from local music Clementine supports Spotify, Grooveshark, Jamendo, Last FM and a whole lot more. Because it will take a while to get a big enough market share for services like this to create an app for us it's better we create it ourselves. I know quite a lot people that wouldn't use a platform exclusively because of lack of an Spotify app.
I cant tell how separated the UI is to the backend but as it uses Qt4 I guess it can't be super difficult to port it to Qt5 when we write a new frontend. >Yes, absolutely Great! 2013/4/4 Daniel Clem <clem11...@gmail.com> > Thank you, I'll keep an eye out for the core app reqs. :-) > > Jim Hodapp <jim.hod...@canonical.com> wrote: >> >> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >> Hash: SHA1 >> >> Daniel, >> >> On 04/03/2013 08:54 PM, Daniel Clem wrote: >> >>> Just a small feature request.
