I tried to register in the Android app, but it doesn't work. I get an endless spinning progress bar after I press "register".

Hello pirko,

you can find my email address in the app (menu/about in first screen) to get in touch with me. With your help, I can try to fix the bug and release.

I'm pretty sure it's server-side & I set our greybeard on it ;-)

We're getting reports of that & sadly I can't reproduce them. We're on it!

I just have one large play list where I add albums that I find and currently listens to. If you sort it by "Added" you can always go back (scroll) and see a time line of albums that you've enjoyed.

Or to use a virtual development environment with the help of Vagrant http://vagrantup.com

If you are interested in how Spotify works and how they use Python you should check out this talk from EuroPython: Spotify and Python: love at first sight http://ep2011.europython.eu/conference/talks/spotify-and-pyt...

You can't really upload tracks, as in upload to the cloud. You can only import tracks into the client so that you don't need another media player to play them.

You can upload tracks to the cloud, but you can only play them with a Spotify client.

Further: if the track is in the GraceNote database, you can share the track (via a playlist) with friends on Spotify.

Not according to Spotify themselves:

As I have always understood it, your local music collection is included in the client. If you share playlists containing tracks from your local collection. But if they are not provided by Spotify, friends need to have the same tracks locally as well to be able to play them.

To clarify if I upload a few track from my home computer that Spotify does not have a license to, I can then play these tracks later on my phone?

You have to manually import the tracks in both the client on your home computer and in the client on your phone. Spotify doesn't provide any upload / cloud functionality.

No, that's not correct.

I have loaded several track to Spotify on my PC, and can listen to them using the client on my phone without having to manually load/import them there. They sync automatically when you connect.

Is your computer running when this sync happens or is it uploading to the cloud?

Why add startup to the title when the article says "18 Projects launched on Garage48 Tallinn 2011"? The article never mention that it's about startups.

No idea where I copy & pasted this headline from :) Agreed that we create projects & services, not startups per se.

Also if you are using something like the Ghostery Firefox add-on to block Firefox Connect you just get an empty page.

Tried with my transit card from SL (Stockholm Public Transport). Got "Unsupported card type: Mifare4k". I'm going to look into it more tonight.

You can find a presentation about the cards used by SL from last years SEC-T conference here http://www.sec-t.org/2010/presentation-videos.html

The name of the presentation is Hacking the RKF ticket system, it can be found at the bottom of the page.

I'm in Sweden and I've heard of them but never used the service. I think they had some commercials on TV a few years ago.
