Collapse buttons for the desktop versions

To all Spotify desktop users out there:

There should be collapse buttons on main/apps and collection just like on the playlists. This would make it easier to choose what you want higlighted. It is also a problem on laptop and other monitors with a 16/9 ratio where there is limited vertical resolution.

From a die-hard Spotify user with at least 3 years premium account.

Android, Desktop (Windows 7 and 8), Squezzebox, XBMC all connected.

Hello!

This is a great idea and quite similar to this one, so I would bring the same comment and bring news as soon as we get back to this.

"We've been thinking about this request for a while and we like the idea, but at the moment we are going to mark it as "Not right now". We are working on ways to improve the design of Spotify but we have not come up with a final decision yet. We know some users prefer Apps and social features while others create a lot of playlist and prefer to minimize the album art work. Others use all of them.We're looking at the optimal solution but this isn't the last time you'll hear from us on this topic."

Thanks a lot for your feedback and check out this thread for futures updates!

Support for Raspberry Pi and Linux running on ARM (only x86 is supported).

I've bought a Raspberry Pi, and I plan to make a portable Linux-based Spotify-computer (I'll use Debian, since Ubuntu does not support RPi).

Spotify woun't run on RPi, probably because it's made for x86-platform.

And despotify is not an option, need the complete Spotify client. ;)

For this project I have the RPi, Lenovo LT1421 USB-monitor (great monitor BTW), battery and PSU and of course FiiO E7 DAC for high sound quality. The only thing that's left is the software, and Spotify is not compatible with ARM/RPi.

A phone or tablet don't have good enough sound quality or functionality, so please, make Spotify RPi compatible! :) I also want to have Spotify in my car, but I have to wait until it's supported.

It is also important to support Linux I think, which is a great OS, but is in the shadow of Windows and iOS. To all of you that haven't tried Linux, try it. It rund much faster and better than Windows and uses much less resources.

Linux Client: Better Gnome Support

Status:

by on

I have been using the latest Linux Client preview for a while and it runs very well even though there are some ocassional bugs. However, the app still doesn't integrate completely with the Gnome desktop, specially 3.2-3.4. Here are some small ideas that I had about how to make the linux client integrate better with Gnome:

When the app is on fullscreen mode (maximized), it should hide the window title bar since it's wasting screen space and Gnome already provides the title of the app that is currently running on the status bar. Example mockup: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1477788/Spotify_fix.png
The app should also support using the keyboard media keys
Gnome 3.4 will include a new feature that allows applications to have an Application Menu (https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointThree/Features/ApplicationMenu). It would be nice if Spotify supported this feature.

Changed back to "new idea" status - once this idea reaches 40+ kudos the Spotify staff will review it again and decide on a new status. ~ Peter
