Very much in favour of this - could be a simple extension of the
playlist concept - builds the playlist based on nowplaying for
current user. If you want to do this, the you might consider simply
being able to play RSS feeds of songs - (in which case Last.fm does
the job)
Anyone want to contribute a " DJ client" - i.e. a minimal
webpage that polls http://www.classy.dk/download/nowplaying...
for changes and loads the next track when it does ?
Wrt DJ-ing from a mac - I think one could probably hack it with
either smart folders or just by polling the guistate file instead
of the smart resource friendly file listener I'm using now - if the
Mac version of Spotify has the same config files of course
read blog post linked above. There's a fixed text file on my web
server with a url, when the url changes (or on first load) it
should be loaded by browser in separate window or something like
that.
@Funza - its a proof of
concept. For geeks. You need to download a perl script, adapt it
for your own needs, hook it up to a webserver, and so on. In short,
this thing needs packaging.
LATEST: The player now works at http://www.classy.dk/cgi-bin/djspotify.p...
- this changes tracks when I change tracks. The proof of concept is
now complete. Next up: Hosting players for all the rest of you.
Stay tuned, you will all be DJing shortly.
Any spotify-staff here? Would really like to be able to
load spotify urls without the app grabbing focus. Is there a way.
Could you make a way?
BTW. It's so much simpler to use Last.fm for building something
like this (URL based and with a real API. Sample
URL), unfortunately it will only give you 30 sec previews for
the majority of tracks :-( - or will it give you full tracks if
you're a subscriber?

That would so rock!

Combined with this and Jaiku, all we'd need to party without leaving the comfort of our homes, would be a cheap stripper each..

Wendelboe, you have created a confusion about all later answers - are people approving of "personal stripper" og "DJ mode" ?

OK, here's a very early version of a DJ mode hack for Spotify http://www.classy.dk/hacks/archives/0039... From now on you can hear what I'm hearing at http://www.classy.dk/cgi-bin/djspotify.p... - Windows only for now - sorry Wendelboe, I need to get a Mac before I can make a hack for you as well...

Contribute? In what way?

Make one and put it on the internet.

Can you provide me with a short description of the "architecture"?

(ah I recon this much: Spotify uses a fat client...)

Yes this is a light weight helpers for Spotify users to share music - not some kind of file sharing/piracy/information wants to be free type thing
17 hours, 25 minutes ago by clausd.
And this will open the track in Spotity http://open.spotify.com/track/ + your encoded track information?
17 hours, 24 minutes ago by kimbach.
yep

Do you have an example of a working URL that will play a track, and I guess I need a Spotify account ;-)
17 hours, 20 minutes ago by kimbach.
No Spotify accounts in Denmark at the moment sadly :( - the urls I'm djing now work fine if one has Spotify
17 hours, 19 minutes ago by clausd.
OK, guess I'll focus my hack on Last.fm then ;-)

Morten tells me the guistate file also lives on a mac. I rewrote the script so it now also works on a Mac. v. 0.0.2 is here!

eh - and how do I make it work, if I want to dj?
