| Hi everyone!
After discussion with Spotify they agree to try to port libspotify and a player for AmigaOs4.x. Two developer at spotify so far have showed big interest to start porting.
I have promised them a brand new fully equipped sam460 with OS4 and Sdk installed. Also we will supply them with around the clock support. everything we can do to help them.
Myself and one or two other developers will deliver the hardware personaly to their Hq in stockholm.
I will order the machine today with my own money but would appreciate if some of you guys would like to chip in.
Also. If the MorphOS and Aros team would like to be part of this you are welcomed. Can you supply a machine and support within three weeks we can bring it with us to spotify. Also if one from each team could join at the handover it would be great. Whatever we think of each others variants of Amiga OS we need to keep this professional at this meeting/hand over.
Who will set up the bounty?
This is the first of many important companies that are contacted or will be contacted to help support our beloved Amiga.
Lets keep this professional.
The future looks so bright we may have to wear sun glasses from now on. :)

| I haven't seen the Amiga scene so alive in ages!
People actually taking the destiny of AmigaOS in their own hands, love it!
The way it should be....

I will supply an Atom based Aros machine fully kitted out for this, contact me at steve@imica.net with shipping details. Will take a week to get ready.

my sincere kudos for the effort, but after reading some articles about spotify and how unfair it compensates free artists, I have quickly loose interest for this. and btw, since a facebook account seems to be mandatory in order to access the service, my interest dwindles down to zero even faster. On top of this, I dislike DRM...
Sorry to rain on you like this.. but of course "we" need to attract developers and new usres, so.. |

Itunes is the same. Most of those services are the same..
@ Ssolie
Yes, you should send that Sam as a development system and you guys should assist their efforts as well. As it only helps to increase your project's commercial value. |
