I like to think of myself as "operating system agnostic" -- a recent newcomer to Spotify, I use it on XP and Ubuntu Linux. All my Macs are PPC. Today I obtained the PPC software and installed it, but it will not log in to my account. Is anyone still successfully using Spotify on PPC?

I am still using Spotify on my G4 Powerbook, but in order to keep it working, I have to avoid any updates, and as you can see from my previous posts here, I am trying unsuccessfully to get Spotify management to tell me if it will soon stop.
I imagine that if you are starting now, the version of software available will not work on PPCs.

No, I have the older software, not the current official release, and it does run -- it just will not accept my credentials. The new software will not run on PPC at all. I suspect the reason is because my Spotify account is associated with my Facebook account, and the PPC software will not accept Facebook credentials to log in. I will have to see if I can get my account "dis-associated" from Facebook, and try again.

I am having same problem here. I wish they would just let us use it the way it was-I pay them every month for a service and now it changes. I am not on facebook either-so I suspect that will be the next thing.......
The irony that is I have some music on spotify myself-made with an "obsolete" G5 which is way faster than the latest powerbook I got last year.
Oh well looks like spotify have lost a customer-and Ive lost a LOT of hours making up playlists!

And they still support XP.

To be fair to Spotify, there are very few apps now that are compatibe with Mac OS Tiger (or earlier). They should rename it OS Leper - the OS shunned by everyone :mantongue:

I use this version of Spotify on my G$ Mac. Works fine for me, though I am not on Facebook. Whether that would make any difference I do not know.
