Spotify Labs release Spotify on Blackberry

Spotify Labs release Spotify on Blackberry

Spotify Labs have released an early version of Spotify for Blackberry, more info here.

Exciting - I was missing listening to music on the move ever since I got a Blackberry three months ago.

On my Blackberry 8900 I’m getting the following error though… :(

This application requires the following modules, which are not installed:
net_rim_media_actions
 net_rim_bb_browser_field2_api

Makes me miss my iPhone… no Spotify on the go yet.

p.s. apparently you need min OS 5 on Blackberry to run it, the 8900 comes with 4.

Getting Spotify to Work with Apple Airport

I’ve started using Spotify as my main music player, rather than iTunes, but I wasn’t sure if/how it would work Airport.

It turns out that there is an app called Airfoil for directing any audio on your Mac to one or more Airports. It costs 28 USD and works pretty well.

If you don’t want to pay for it and are comfortable on the terminal, you can install Raoxp. I couldn’t really get this to work though, plus I preferred the GUI in Airfoil, even though I use Terminal a lot.

With both you may require Soundflower, which allows for you to direct the audio on your Mac.
