Will Spotify improve their Linux Preview?
I was saddened to find out that the Spotify Linux Preview client does not currently have support for Free Accounts because Spotify Developers say that they have not found a reliable way to embed advertisements to support free accounts using the client.
It troubles me to figure out how the Spotify Developers came to the conclusion that adding ads to a Linux Client would be troublesome or even hard because there are plenty of other apps that do have ads including Slacker’s Linux-based application.
I sent an e-mail to Spotify about two weeks ago but have yet to receive any response and I wish their community had better interaction with developers. I’m hopeful that Spotify’s management team will realize that this Linux Preview client should be a priority because if Free accounts can use it that means more exposure to the service and likely more conversions to paid accounts.
Do not underestimate the power of porting your applications to Linux…. Adobe has made this mistake and nobody should follow their footsteps!
