Spotify for Symbian updated with local files and social support

I don't want social on my symbian! I want Scrobbling!!

I want to know if this update implements last.fm scrobbling before loosing all my offline playlists.

insanity awesome!

Ok, been trying to install and run this for the last hour and had zero joy :o( The app installs and then freezes at start up. Sometimes I get as far as the homescreen, but the app then becomes completely unresponsive and I have to kill the app manually. Other times, it doesn't even get that far and just locks up. I've tried installing it via m.spotify.com, I've downloaded the app on my PC and tried installing directly, I've tried connecting over WiFi and 3G, but nothing. I've installed, uninstalled, rebooted but with no success. This is VERY poor. Anyone else suffering problems?

Is the password field on login screen in cleartext on purpose?

It's always been that way, daf-fy :o)

I managed to update, entered my username and password then it just kills the app, without any input from myself. I'm assuming this isn't meant to be the case. Anyone else?

Ok, some progress. It seems if I start the app up and then leave it for about 1-2 minutes, it then kicks in. Once it's in, it works fine. One thing I have noticed is it has only picked up 4339 of the 6485 locally stored MP3's I have on my phone. I'm wondering if it's the addition of local files functionality that is causing this incredibly long and wholly unacceptable start up time?

Full uninstall and re-install actioned. Phone off and on. Same again. Will give failedmuso's suggestion above a try. Still not acceptable personally. A Spotify response would be handy. Using Nokia E72.

Nope. Log in, home screen, do nothing, closes app within 15-20 seconds.

Issues here as well, on a Nokia E66 (E66-1 (03)) with firmware 410.21.010. App logs in and either starts the clean install or just hangs. After 30-60 seconds it resets the phone. Have tried uninstalling it but still same results... :(

For reference, I'm using a Nokia N97 (for my sins!) on the latest v21 firmware and did think it might be down to that devices poor RAM issues, but it seems more people with other devices are experiencing similar issues. As klbrock says, an official response from Spotify would be most useful.

I have also tried it in both Online & Offline modes and the issue still remains.

Thanks for the update, but two issues: - Still no last.fm scrobbling.. come on, how hard can it be? - Is there no option to enable/disable local file support?

Hi all, Thanks for the reports of the problems, we are going to look into it asap. As for last.fm scrobbling, it's on the road map but unfortunately did not make it into this release.

So, I will not install the new update.Importing local files shouldn't be an automatic task.

Thanks for the response andres. Hopefully the problems can be resolved soon.

Cheers Andres, looking forward to a rapid fix :o)

I lose all my offline playlists everytime I close Spotify :( And it sync them all over again, not just checking if they exists offline. I can't even play my local files that are located on the phone! It says I have to sync them to my PC... :O

Jag vill också scrobbla på min Nokia! Snälla prioritera! Mycket viktigare än Facebook-koppling.

It seems like on my N97 that Spotify polls for local files on each startup, which in turn causes the pause. It hasn't frozen completely for me, but simply takes about 30 sec to startup. Having said that, I only had about 800 local files, which I have promptly deleted to speed up load time. Of course, this is an unacceptable solution for most. Let's hope it is resolved soon!

I would really need the option to prioritize my offline-playlist loadings! I have now about 1000 songs in tens of offline-playlists and the order they are synced seems a bit random. I would like to sync my favorite playlists first, especially after the update-reset! (are they now synced in the decreasing order of the playlists?) Also it should be possible to sync offline individual songs from playlists (although this can now be done by adding the songs to some other offline playlist as well). Thank you for the search-improvement! Spotify is starting to near quite a perfect music service. The biggest improvement for the mobile use would be the support for Bluetooth-headphone commands (especially next/previous song). I have standard Nokia BH-504 bluetooth stereo headphones that support: * Handsfree profile HFP 1.5 * HSP 1.1 * Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0 * Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.0 => I NEED to control Spotify from my headphones so I can keep my mobile on my backpack etc while enjoying Spotify on the go! Thanks!

We scrobble. You suck.

@jly I think you ask too much. A simple feature as Last.fm Scrobbling wasn't implemented on this update. So..

Hi all, We are working on a fix and hope to have it our early next week. In the meantime, one potential solution is to rename their music folder to start with "sys", e.g sysMusic, syswhatever. This will cause Spotify to ignore that folder and the problem shouldn't appear.

Spotify ha dejado de oirse de un dia a otro. ¿¿Que ha sucedido??? Misterio

¿¿Habéis limitado las conexiones gratuitas a 20 horas por mes?? ¿Pero es que acaso la publicidad no era suficiente?, ¿¿que pasa nos ponéis un caramelo y ahora nos los quitáis para joder?? Y encima con publicidad, como si ésta no pagase con creces la música que escucho, así que os habéis unido al puto grupo de panda de mangantes que hay por ahí, pues por mi parte que no vais a ver un ni un puto euro salir me mis bolsillos.... Iros a tomar por el puto culo que queréis que os diga, panda de mangantes, eso es lo que sois. Y para que veáis que no me escondo os he dado mis datos, panda de cabrones. ¿Pero sabéis lo mejor de todo? Que me da exactamente igual, sencillamente porque puedo descargarme toda la música que salga del culo cuando quiera.
