Download: Windar 0.2.5

Changes in this release:

• Added a resolver for Spotify.

This product uses SPOTIFY(R) CORE but is not endorsed, certified or otherwise approved in any way by Spotify. Spotify is the registered trade mark of the Spotify Group.

A premium Spotify account is required for the Spotify resolver to work.

The terms & conditions for the libspotify API suggest this resolver is in a grey area. Therefore, the Spotify resolver is presented here in its current form as an expiring demo. It is believed that the application more or less conforms to the terms, but clarification of the terms may be required.

This resolver for Spotify is implemented in C# using libspotify and libspotify-sharp. It is compatible with Mono on Mac OS X and Linux, and .NET 2.0 on Windows.

Note: Demo expired 1st December. There is no plan to extend the demo at this time, so the following links are no longer available, but you can find the source-code on my GitHub page.

• Spotify resolver for Playdar on Mac OS X
• Spotify resolver for Playdar on Linux (x86)

Having recently read Steven Hawking’s latest book “The Grand Design”, which I really liked, I was wondering about Quantum Physics and nano-tech robots. Considering the idea that very small things inhabit a space that may be spanning elements of a multi-verse, and a reality in which small particles travelling in unobserved spaces don’t follow straight lines. If we can suppose humanity will develop clouds of nano-tech machines that could work together as a collective intelligence, then robots might be able travel into inner-space and explore much like robots are being used today to explore the solar system and beyond.
