Bug#670786: ITP: despotify -- Open source client for Spotify



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Toby Smithe <tsmithe@ubuntu.com>

* Package name    : despotify
  Version         : 1.0r520
  Upstream Author : #HACK.SE <despotify@gmail.com>
* URL             : http://despotify.se/

  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : Open source client for Spotify

Despotify is an independent open source client for the Spotify streaming music
platform, which provides on-demand access to music from a number of major and
independent record labels. To use despotify, a Spotify Premium account is
required.

The source package builds three binaries:
 libdespotify0, libdespotify0-dev, and despotify.

The binary package "despotify" provides two console front-ends, and one HTTP
REST front-end. The two library packages are self-explanatory. I intend to
investigate also building the python and ruby bindings, but I have not yet
looked into that.

For answers about the legal situation and the relationship of despotify with
the official proprietary distribution, please see <http://despotify.se/faq/>.
