I just read that Spotify will release a client for Windows Mobile 6.5 within a month!
http://www.winmobile.se/index.php/?p=1371
It runs great on 480×800 touch screens, and supports all features of Spotify including:
Offline mode
Save offline audio files to phone, or storage card
Multi resolution support
Multitasking support – Yes you can run Spotify in the background and play Bubble breaker at the same time
So, for all the people who doubt that the interest in the Windows Mobile platform for developers, see this as a positive development for the platform!

yay, now thats nice!
Yep... I'll reactivate my Premium account once it's released. The reason I abandoned it in the first place was when I moved from Symbian to WM and discovered that there was no official Spotify client for WM.

yess!!!!
excellent !!!
Cool!!!! About time ......
will 6.1 work with the 6.5 I have a verizon omnia

I have a problem with this version. Whenever a new song starts the volume gets reset to a very low volume. If you have the same problem I suggest you report it at: http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/problems/recent
Brgds... /Tubgirl
..same problem here
Does anyone NOT have this bug? It would be interesting to know if this problem is related to HD2 or if other models are affected as well.
Any hack or workaround to get this working on a QVGA screen? It seems like the app was only made for WVGA...
Make sure to advertise that you too have the problem -> getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/windows_mobile_app_volume_problem_on_htc_hd2_leo. They claim spotify employees are watching the site.
Maybe we can get it up on the list a bit.
Got this problem on a Touch Pro 2, and someone on the spotify blog reports it on a Samsung device.
Yeah same problem with the sound for me too, I've also registered it on the Get Satisfaction thread.
Randomly this is a windows mobile client issue, as I don't get it in Android on the same HD2 handset.
I don't have this problem as long as I use the volume buttons to adjust volume while Spotify is maximized.
If I adjust the volume while Spotify is minimized, I get the problem.
HD2 with ROM 1.66 Norwegian.

please don't flame me for not searching the forums if such a topic has already been discussed - my search function simply isn't working. I have however browsed the forums with no luck. I was simply wondering if it is possible to use my athena as a media extender- not just control it but view videos, music and pictures the same way i would through an xbox or a pc.

orb is ok but id prefer something to directly sync with my Media Center setup at home.
Also my Athena crashes whenever Media Player loads up. I've got PK's Black Touch 2.0. Applied the WM fix but it didn't work.
Wondered if anyone has tried this..... haven't had chance yet

Be interested to get some feedback
Try using Webguid on your media center pc. It integrates into the mediacenter application and is a ton more stable than Orb (especially on Vista). It's free for XP and Vista media center users and is very easily navigated on a laptop or handheld (more than Orb was anyway, and yes I've used both). Webguide is the closest I've come to turning my handheld into a media center extender as I can get.
I don't have the url, but a quick google for webguide+mediacenter should get you going in the right direction. Also, try using TCPMP to view the streaming on your handheld instead of WMP.
Good luck.

If it helps, I tried the various WMP fixes without success until I saw the one about previewing the skins. This is what worked for me:
1) In options uncheck open in library screen.
2) In landscape mode go to options and select skin tab. Wait until the skin appears - takes a few seconds
3) In Portrait mode do the same as for 2)
That worked for me. I don't think I did the "play a track from playlist" trick, but I did have a playlist set up. Reason I can't be sure is that this is the third time I've had to rebuild my Athena with PK2.0 because previous 2 versions got stuck during hard reset after I had set various things up.
Hope this helps someone
Fellow developers
Rhapsody came out for the Iphone and Ipod touch recently.
is there a way for anyone to port this to windows mobile? im using rhapsody to listen to music and i love it, would be amazing if i could use it on my phone while traveling.
Regards
Yep, I 2nd that. This is a big deal in usefulness of the phone as my mp3 player through A2DP and in the car. In fact, even though I've been with WM through thick and thin for a decade, it's getting old and the news of this makes me almost seriously consider leaving WM just because of this great development. No syncing, no transferring, just easy over the web unlimited 8 million songs! Please get this going, someone, please!
verizon
Rhapsody has an wm app through verizon's 'vcast' $15/per month service. maybe someone could 'adapt' to work on other carrier?
although its in early stages of development, the app groovefish, here on xda is quite nice. its found and played every song ive searched for.

its not a APP its a download while tethered to PC solution ... i just wish some would help me get my drm fixed on 6.5 .

Co-sign. I've been using Rhapsody for years, it would be awesome to have it on my phone.
any one want to throw down on a bounty ?;-)

After years of Use Rhapsody has finally figured out i'm not from the States , stopping my Service on PC.
I have read that a WM version is indeed in the planning (WMPowerUser article), but they need to open up to let me in again.

but orb does not give you a HUGE music catalog.. RHAPSODY for winmobile please any one ??? here are the APIs webservices.rhapsody.com
I've been told (I can't confirm it) that Rhapsody To Go will sync with the new 6.5 Verizon ROM. There must be some way to use that ROM to fix Rhapsody in cooked ROMs.
Are you telling me that rhapsody to-go doesn't work with windows mobile 6.5??? I currently use rhapsody everyday on my ATT Tilt. Rhapsody to-go syncs DRM subscriber tracks to the storage card inside my Tilt (It plays for 30 days on the standard windows media player mobile).
I'm thinking of upgrading to the Tilt 2 which has windows mobile 6.5. Will the rhapsody DRM still work in the same way with this phone? Please let me know.

yes exactly, it only works with DRM-supporting devices, what i would like is just the rhapsody application for windows mobile, just search album, click play, turn of screen and enjoy
i have looked at the API site, thanks for that link xhotz but i dont know if i will be capable of setting something up on winmo platform
next to that:
i am outside of the US, so the weblinks on the api-site don't work
+1 on the full Rhapsody request. I have Rhapsody To Go working (DRM and all) on my HD2 and also no problem on my TYTNii previously. However, I will say that the documentation and the authorization techniques are not obvious on Rhapsody and you need to read through the details to make it work.
However, streaming Rhapsody would be really great.
Rhapsody WM 6.5
It's B.S. that they will not offer this for 65, but with the newest update Amazon is offering there MP3 service per song or album for the same price as their website. I buy from them all the time so it's time for winmo users to stop sucking the nipple of Rhapsody and Use a better non subscription service pay per song or album like you would on a desktop... it's in the Windows Marketplace for free, but those using T-Mobile HD2 the newest OS upgrade includes this and a few other goodies.
So, I am moving on up from my eris and wanted to set it up as a remotely controlled wifi stereo with my speakers. I was wondering if there was any way to use my new phone to remotely control it? (aside from having google voice set up on it with tasker so I can start an app) Any help would be appreciated.
I'm in the same situation as you. Recently upgraded, but still love my Eris and would love to re-purpose it. As far as your question goes I found this article that you might be interested in. XDA isn't letting me post a link but if you google "VNC android" look for "Remotely Control Android Phone [VNC Server]". The website is taranfx.com.
Now in the near future posts like this are going to become more and more prevalent as more people move away from the old Eris to bigger and better phones. I would be really excited if I could download a ROM for the Eris geared toward media player/iPod Touch like functionality. Maybe strip out phone and messaging stuff and pre-load some headphone controls, equalizers, video players or VNC functionality like the OPs question? I'm just throwing ideas around but I figured this would be a good place to put my suggestion.

*IF* you use your computer as your media hub/server/DVR like me then you can remotely control VLC/VideoLAN and Media Player Classic for Home Cinema with Android apps for the purpose, over WIFI. I don't actually do it because my phone IS my internet right now, but it looks solid.
i was in the same situation a while ago too. someone told me about webkey. its in the market, and you can control the phone from anywhere (doesnt need wifi or bluetooth).
from what ive read, you can not directly connect to the phone if you live in america. i do, and whenever i try, the browser times out. using the webkey website and logging in however, works just fine. actions you do from the computer happen on the phone within 1 second, but sometimes it may take 3-4 seconds to refresh the picture on the website.
i will look into this vnc thing..
First step would be a way to toggle the CDMA radio off, while leveaing wifi and bluetooth on. I know you can use *#*#4636#*#*, but when you reboot the radio is back on.
Bump.
I too would like to re-purpose my Eris as a music or media player of some sort.
I have a US SGS3, not-rooted - AT&T released an OS update yesterday, and now MirrorLink / DriveLink is functional.
Using the Sony XAV-601BT, firmware updated from UK Sony website, Samsung Drivelink APK installed via USB, from the other MirrorLink thread.
When I plug the unit into USB before I would get a message "USB device not recognized", and would then stream Pandora via Bluetooth. Now it auto-launches DriveLink, Navi works, phone works, music works, but only supports Mp3, etc. files at the moment.
Frankly, I was hoping for more app support (eg ability to launch Pandora, Waze, etc.) - right now it only works with built in Google Maps Navi, Phone book, and local files for Music. Something which is annoying, is that I cannot use Bluetooth audio streaming for Pandora at the same time as DriveLink, so the solution is imperfect - I can now use DriveLink navigation, but not Pandora, Or I can exit fully out of drivelink, and listen to Pandora; music or nav, not both - so while it now launches and works, I still cannot use it regularly.
As a bit of an aside, when I first bought my SGS3 I installed an AppRadio2, which was horrible and got exchanged for the XAV-601BT. Now, however, within the last week, there's been progress on fully unlocking control of android using the AppRadio2:
Youtube link "PFiAWrItAdE" (can't post URL)
Seems like the ultimate solution, away from the nanny limitations of DriveLink, although one would imagine, since these limitations are with Samsung's software, a 3rd party app could provide a similar experience with the MirrorLink standard. So perhaps be patient for 6 months, or switch back to AppRadio2, and hope the laggy connection issues have been fixed.
scorp, welcome to XDA!
Many of us feel the same about Samsungs app - pretty poor effort so far Please check out the last few pages of this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837847&page=15 (from about page 12 onwards)
A growing number of members here are trying to build a donation 'bounty' in the hope that we can get a developer interested in playing with the Samsung Mirrorlink app and removing the current restrictions to allow full mirroring of the whole phone (meaning all apps on the headunit).
The more support we get the more chance of making this a reality, if you'd be willing to donate something to see this happen please make a post in that thread (also stating your phone model and ROM/firmware) and I'll add you to the list.
Thanks,
Olywa
If any members have any interest at all in mirrolink/drivelink (mirroring phone display and control on supported car headunits) please do take a look at the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837847&page=15
What will come first the app for flash player on WP8 or a new OS. I think this is biggest lack of app now. It seems there is no end in site for flash, its time MS paid for developing it. Anyone have any insight on this WP8 missing piece.

Meh,
The only page I've come across that needed flash was the one for a local restaurant. The majority of the sites have minimized or move from flash, or aren't intended for mobile devices.
That said, I'm sorry you can't create your new candy concoctions or tend your farms from your phone, thought there are plenty of other games that you can play that run natively on the phone.

perhaps you don't read BBC or stream video from tv sites. Thanks for cotton candy speech.
Adobe as of the year before last pulled out of the mobile market. That means flash is not even available on Android devices now unless you get a third party app that may still be floating around. All websites are supposed to be converting to HTML5 if they want mobile viewer traffic. If they have not converted then they are only interested in PC traffic and you should boycott the site to show them the traffic they are missing. Rather than make your work, you should make the sites do what they are supposed to do.
My android phone (Asus PadFone 2) is capable of showing live streams on Twitch.tv with the default browser, but I have no idea how. If I try to play a video from the day before on the website, it says I need flash player, so it only works if the channel is live. On my Lumia 920 however if I go to Twitch.tv, it says I need flash player, even if the channel is live... So how is it my PadFone can show live streams if its still flash-based, yet I get an error saying I need flash if I try to play videos from the day before?
I tried an unofficial Twitch TV app. on WP. It works well, but you have to pay to not get cut off every 5mins or so. I wish WP would also be able to show live streams on the actual Twitch TV website.
