No search and no shuffle!

Do the people who designed it use a music streaming service?

I have a freebie account that I would have upgraded to Premium for a while to check it out on Tivo, but lack of the above, puts me off.

Have they got the 'Artist Radio' function on Tivo?

The lack of a search function on pretty much any app that uses a database is unforgivable. It's a fundamental feature, and if you leave it out you obviously flunked several classes on how to be a software developer.

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Just has 'Whats New' and your playlists. Basic but nice to play it via the TV.

Tip:
If your user name has an underscore character in it, like mine, then you can't log in using the Tivo remote as the '0_' button toggles between '0' and space. I thought I was doomed but then the Tivo Commander app came to the rescue with its keyboard input that had the necessary character.

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

The symbols are on the '1' button on the TiVo remote, not the '0'

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Much easier to navigate this with a USB keyboard. Especially for weird character access on user/pass combos.

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Im sure i heard somwhere search will be added eventualy.

Brilliant app.. really smart looking too :)

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Underscore isn't

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Yes it is. I checked

Always been interested in Spotify but never taken the plunge. More intertested now with the Tivo app. Does spotify have a minumu sub? Or can i try the prem sub for a month and cancel if i dont like it?

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

You can try for a month and downgrade if you want, even to the Free one. You can only use the VM TiVo Spotify App with the Premium one though.

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Thanks, i filled the VM forum online to upgrade from XL (20mb) to XL (30mb) which is required and pay £30 for the new router.
I was told an email and letter would be sent to confirm prices changes. And was pleasantly surprised to find a £1.50 reduction pm.
So a 10mb upgrade, spotify for 6mnths all for £30 and £1.50 less pm month!

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

Sadly you do get the Super Hub though, and that has been derided quite a lot since release, more so than the TiVo. Some people were rebooting theirs several times a day in order to keep a working internet connection... maybe they've fixed all that now but I very much doubt it!

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

The superhub now has modem mode so can connect your own router now.

Re: Spotify launch tomorrow
 

That feature finally made it out of beta, eh? Took 'em long enough.

It's still awful as a router though. Makes you wonder why VM bothered.
