Earlier Spotify desktop client was a state of art. 2 megabytes, every function works seamlessly.
It's developed by the same author of original uTorrent, Ludvig Strigeu.
Nowadays, Spotify kinda bloats with cef and funny feeling HTML5 UI.
Trivia: Ludvig Strigeus also developed Spotiamp http://news.spotify.com/us/2013/12/20/spotiamp-long-live-the-llama/ http://news.spotify.com/us/2013/12/20/spotiamp-long-live-the...
- dkns 11y agoYes! I remember when they introduced new client. I was less than impressed. I think the new one is built on chromium or at least uses it partially as base.
- icebraining 11y agouT was a good client, but it pales in comparison to his other project, OpenTTD.
- 72deluxe 11y agoVery interesting! OpenTTD is truly great, and a program that I will always remember for giving me a crick in the neck whilst playing on it all weekend (on a tiny netbook).
- lucaspiller 11y agoActually all he really* did for OpenTTD was disassemble the original TTD into C, which became the first version of OpenTTD. He left in the early 0.x stages of OpenTTD. *Ok it's still an epic task :)
- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoWow, TIL that the same guy wrote uTorrent, Spotify and OpenTTD. His Wikipedia page informs me he was behind ScummVM as well! That's an impressive portfolio.
- drsounds 11y agoI loved the old client, I want it back as much I want my deceased mother come back to life, I really loved that program. It worked so smooth on my crappy laptop I had before.
- Domenic_S 11y ago> I loved the old client, I want it back as much I want my deceased mother come back to life, I really loved that program. Holy crap, that is quite a claim!
- uniclaude 11y agoThat's... a disturbingly strong statement! I'm sorry for your loss, and I really want to try this old client now.
