Problems with Spotifinder

Have noticed that people have been having problem with Spotifinder for iPhone, and the user SingleDigit have identified the problem. I was of the impression that I would get notifications when I got comments on blog posts, something that I have enabled manually now to not let this happen again.

The reason Spotifinder haven’t worked for some of you is that you need to enable access for assistive devises under the Universal Access preference pane. It is embarrassing indeed that I’ve missed this step.

The Steps in Screenshots:

On the topic, I’m working on an update for Spotifinder that will enable volume control and listing of search results before playing.

Spotifinder 2.3

Spotifinder is a simple tool for Mac that helps regular users to do correct searches in Spotify. Search specifically for Artist, Album, Genre or Label without formulating a special search syntax, or select the currently playing artist in iTunes to see what tracks Spotify has from that artist.

It also works as a middleman for the iPhone application Spotifinder, enabling Spotifinder for iPhone to act as a remote for Spotify with the extra ability to search directly from the iPhone/iPod touch.

New in version 2.3:

1. New Icon.
2. Preparations for the updated version (1.1) of the iPhone version of Spotifinder.

Requires MacOS X 10.5 Leopard or higher.

It is freeware. Download version 2.3 here.

Spotifinder for iPhone & iPod touch

Ever wanted to have a remote control for Spotify? What about doing Spotify searches from the couch or your bed? Well, now you can. By running the mac version Spotifinder application on your Mac (version 2.1 or later, 2.2 or later recommended), you can now control Spotify over the local network, without having to do any configuration.

Tjatter 1.1

Are you feeling a bit paranoid and don't want your chats to neither go through a third party server nor have your conversations stored by strangers? Then Tjatter is the application for you. You start the server application on a computer of your choice and that's it, it's up and running without any needed configuration. After that you just input the server computers IP adress (or domain name) and choose a username and you are chatting with your friends, it's that easy! It uses a light encryption method so that the messages sent to and from the server won't be in plain text. Mind you, the encryption is indeed a light one, so it won't hold for industry strength decryption software, but it will keep your conversation safe from your regular eavesdropping enthusiast.

Requires MacOS X 10.4 Tiger or higher.

It is freeware. Download version 1.1 here.
