Can Spotify for windows be run under Wine?
What about the Max client under a Mac emulator on Easy Debian?
Spotify for windows can be run under Wine, but not on armel processors like on the N900, only on x86 and x86_64 processors like your desktop computer

Mac on Linux is a virtual machine and will only run on PPC based processors, not on armel processors.

The authors of Despotify is not interested in a cat and mouse game where they enable use of free accounts by hacks and the Spotify creators blocks it in the next release. Their just glad to have a opensource Spotify client running at all. Some one (not me, and this is not a request, i dont really care for spotify at all) would need to fork the Despotify source code and make a hack that would trick the spotify server to let you loggon with a Despotify client, but cat and mouse.

AFAIK Despotify is the only opensource Spotify library or application, and its the only one for armel(except official spotify clients for platforms like iPhone and Android).


Anyway a plausible but not at all usable solution is to run an emulator like bosch or something on the N900 with Windows/Linux with wine or OS x, then run Spotify there. But this is not at all battery friendly, and say hello to half an hour to get it started, and im not sure if audio is supported on any x86 or PPC emulator for the N900
