Spotify updated, and so did we :-)
Once in a while Spotify update their client, and integration with Remoteless breaks. Nothing we can do about it except to release an update as soon as possible.
So if you are on Windows, and Remoteless suddenly started to only show the green “Start Spotify”-button, even if Spotify was running, you need to download and install the new helper (v221) from HERE (same link as on remoteless.no front page), and everything should work normally again.
Sorry for you inconvenience, and happy Spotifying!
Update, 6.august: Poll is now closed, and the winner is…
Playlist sync for premium users (sync your playlists to remoteless).
Thanks to all for voting, now lets sync some playlists!
The poll is now open! Vote for your favorite new feature, and help us decide what to do next. We will try our best to implement the winning feature, if not possible we will do feature number two. This is meant as a big thanks to all of our users, and we hope you use the opportunity. Thanks again, and happy voting!
Thanks, now pick a new feature!
Update: THE POLL IS NOW OPEN
The other day we (the team) discussed what a great community we have around our little app. It really makes it worth it, and we are really inspired by how much people care, and how glad you are to help us when we ask you to take screenshots, beta-test or send us crash logs. We really get a lot of great feedback from you guys, and we could not have done this without you!
As a BIG thanks to you all, the next remoteless feature will be chosen by YOU!
iOS4.0 Update, please give us feedback!
Yesterday, I submitted a remoteless update to the appstore.
The update contained:
- fix for a iOS4.0 bug which made remoteless crash on startup.
- fixes of all common crash-logs reported trough apples crash-log system.
- a new “currently playing”-button available when browsing artist/album/track
- a new “back”-button which takes you back to the last place you browsed, so for example if you start a song by an artist, you are one click away from getting back to that artists albums/tracks
Mac-Beta of Remoteless is now Open!
Finally! After a lot of work, and many late nights, the first beta of remoteless-helper for mac is now released. You are currently invited to try it out and help us with locating any bugs or issues we have not found while testing.
New version, new name!
A new version of Remoteless was approved today by apple, and is now available in the appstore, either as an update, or for new downloaders. Biggest new features are cover art and facebook integration.
Some time ago we were contacted by Spotify asking if we could remove Spotify from the name of our app. The name is now changed from ‘Spotify Remoteless’ to only ‘Remoteless’, and we are hoping that this will not have any impact on our sales.
If you have any idea on how we could reach all the Spotify users with our app please tell us, we are considering renting some time on Spotify itself, but we are unsure about the return.
Awaiting Spotify Update.
Today, 27.04.2010 the spotify client will be updated. Link to Spotify blog.
We will test the new update with remoteless today, and if we find anything that does no longer work, we will release an updated helper before this weekend.
We welcome feedback on what works and does not work with the new update, please use the comment field so everyone can see.
Update
Two bugs are found regarding remoteless and the new spotify. An updated helper will be released this weekend.
- Starting a playlist does not work any more.
- Playing all tracks from an artist does not work any more.
Starting album / track will work, and if you start your playlist at the computer, next/prev/pause/play will work.
We hope this lack of features wont cause to much trouble for the next days, and we hope that you understand that we need a couple of days to fix these
kind of problems.
Update 2
We just finished a new version of the SpotifyRemotelessHelper. The new helper patches differences in new Spotify client, and contains some stuff needed for the next Remoteless client (the actual app) update.
New helper is now out and is available from front page http://remoteless.no/
Direct download link: http://www.remoteless.no/SpotifyRemotelessHelperInstaller.exe
Let there be cover art!
Take a look at our latest development build, it got cover art! This feature will be out with the next update which we hope to release 1. may. It will basically contain a lot of bug-fixes, some improved features, and cover-art.
First to name all albums and artists will be credited on twitter!
No playlist support you say?
The release of Remoteless has been a huge success compared to our initial expectations. With this success a lot of people have given us feedback regarding play-lists, and we have also received many low ratings because of the low play-list support in Remoteless. In this short blog-post I will try to shed some light at why this feature is missing.

BTW We totally agree that play-list support would make Remoteless a better remote. No doubt about it.
