Comment on Why Spotify Premium is too expensive, and how to fix it by K

Great idea – I have the same issue. I was paying for Pandora One and considered switching to Spotify Premium…until I saw the price. Considering Spotify basic is free, I don’t think the ten dollar increase is justified by the additional features – it’s just not enough, to me. Considering I already thought that meant you could download the music you wanted (which, apparently, you can’t?) it makes it even less appealing. I didn’t mind spending about $3 a month for Pandora for higher quality, no commercials, and unlimited play (though even I’m on the edge for that) – I wouldn’t mind playing a bit more for Spotify, but not over 3x as much.

Perhaps if I was using it to replace my entire music collection with just Spotify, as some people are planning to do, I could justify it, but there are still so many gaps in what it currently has and what it can do that I can’t be bothered – I’ll still be shelling out money for those albums and artists that my music budget will have to double.

Furthermore I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to Netflix (or Sky Movies? – not familiar with that) – music is so ubiquitous in my life I can’t imagine not having some download. I don’t have access to wi-fi constantly nor do I have a smartphone – in my car, on a jog, or when my internet’s plain down I rely on downloaded music. I can get discs from Netflix to play offline.

Hi,

I would suggest that you check out HP’s offering which is called MusicStation, it allows you to stream music as well as download 10 tracks a month to keep for only £7.99 I have the application installed on my Hp Pavilion and so far it seems really good. It’s power by omifone so there are quite alot of tracks available.

The only downside is that it is not available as a mobile application so you have to make your playlists offline then transfer them to you phone with drm licencing but apart from that it’s quite good and at least you get to keep 10 tracks every month. The tracks are DRM free and in CD quality mp3 format.

Hope this helps.

Dude nice, really awesome photos and good to see you guys managed to get some quality time together.

Also, I loved Alcatraz. Went on one of the guided tours and it was such a great guide. We should go back and do that together.

Comment on Fixing a Sequel Pro compilation error by Rowan Beentje

Interestingly, the Sequel Pro source tree includes the ShortcutRecorder .ibplugin, in Frameworks/ShortcutRecorder.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ShortcutRecorder.ibplugin (it gets stripped on build). The reason it’s in that particular location is that Xcode/Interface Builder are usually smart enough to pick up .ibplugins in those locations – we include the BWToolkit .ibplugin for the same reason, for example.

Unfortunately, as you’ve found, this seems to glitch out occasionally – sometimes a relaunch lets it pick it up automatically, sometimes opening up BundleEditor.xib will let it pick it up, and the good news is that once it’s found it, it won’t need to look for it again.

I’ll update the (outdated) README file to reflect this info, but building plugins yourself will of course also work

Comment on Issues with JBCP and Sybase by Luis De Bello

Luis De Bello — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 19:20:05 +0000

Hi,

I’d like to know if you can help me with some doubts regarding the jbcp. Initially I was working with a file containing less than 20 columns, and the results where awesome. But when I tried to use a file with more than 20 columns I had some issues. Basically I can not process a set of rows when there are more than 20 columns but I’m just able to process one by one in this case.

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

bye
