No 64-bit Mac version?

Solved!

No 64-bit Mac version?

Hi,

 

i was quite surprised when I noticed that the Mac version for desktop is only a 32-bit application. When will the 64-bit application be released? 

 

Additionally, I am also looking forward to some built in AirPlay streaming in the future.

Hi all,

 

I would appreciate a response from the community moderators or adminstrators on this matter?

 

Have a nice weekend.

I would like a 64-bit version too, as would a lot of other folks (without even knowing).

 

According to Apple, starting the first 32-bit app on 64-bit OS X requires loading the 32-bit versions of lots of frameworks in memory again, next to the 64-bit versions.

 

As Spotify is the last 32-bit app on my machine, the total amount of memory it requires (Spotify itself + 32-bit frameworks) is much more than would be neccesary if it was compiled as 64-bit.

 

See "Memory Requirements" here:

+1 ... it is 2013 now and I really would like to go 64 bit only

32-bit apps are outdated and taxing on my system.

Yep 64-bit would be great!

bump.

 

still awaiting info from spotify.

Seems an update from the Spotify team is never going to happen?

now that chrome (spotify embeds chrome browser) for mac released 64 bit, we can expect spotify to catch up in 3 years.

I stand corrected, 1 year only 🙂 kudos to devs!

Any updates on the 64-bit version?

I wonder this too!

Current OSX Beta is also non 64-Bit 😞

+1 this thread.

 

I can't believe this has been unanswered for nearly 3 years.

 

I refuse to use spotify on my new MBP until there is a 64 bit version available.

Just a reminder:

 

Please add a kudo here if you want this
