Haha, yes. I relate. My teacher listens to her iTunes radio, but it is ridden with ads now. I told her about Spotify, and I pay for "no ads," plus an unilimited access to music. It's so much better than any iTunes or online radio that I know. I hesitated to tell her how much I pay: $5/month (I'm a poor college student, that's a LOT for me! Haha). She said, "that's all?!" She knew Spotify when it was still only in the UK. Well, it's change a lot since then - and for the better. 
I enjoy telling people that it's only $5/month for unlimited access with ZERO ADVERTISEMENTS, and I listen to music via Spotify at work, school and home. Of course, it's $10/month for the extra-extra features, like carrying Spotify with you on an MP3 player, etc. But I am very happy with $5/month for the service I use! And always new music added!!
Anyway, I'll stop rambling. :)  Thanks for the great service, Spotify team!! I am speaking, of course, of the software AND the friendly and helpful community!

  • How to get help and help others on the Spotify Community!

    So I thought I would make this informal, light-hearted post about how to help other and get help on the community :)
    A Community is About Mutual Relations
    This means that people help you, so that you help them. You share your newly gained knowledge, so others can benefit. You get help, and then you help others by replying to their topics.
    It Always Pays to be Polite
    People will want to help you more if you are polite, with no swearing or hate speech. We all get annoyed from time to time, and some get annoyed more than others. We understand that the product you're paying for isn't working, but screaming, shouting and swearing about it won't help. Be polite, and help will come.
    Always Pack as Much Information in as Possible
    Often I am trying to help others, and there is just not enough info posted for me to help them well. This slows down the support they can get, which makes them further annoyed. To solve this issue post as much info as you possibly can:
    Any error messages
    A description of what is happening
    What have you tried to do to fix it
    What happened when you tried to fix it
    Oh, a screenshot always helps ;)
    Don't Post Personal Info
    Almost every day I have to report a post for containing an email address, telephone number and sometimes even the users home address. Apart from being against the community guidelines, this is rather stupid. These forums are public, and any person, bot, stalker or alien entity can see it. So just don't post them - it would save everyone's time ;)
    Payment Issue? Don't come to us ;)
    Payment issues cannot be dealt with on the community, unfortunately, as we don't have access to your Spotify account or details. You should use the Support Form to contact the customer services team, and they will get back to you (eventually).
    Post in the correct section!
    I am forever moving posts over to the correct sections. Please - post in the correct section to begin with. If you need help, post in the help forums, and post in the relevant help forum. You will get a quicker response if you post in the right section ;)
    Post in the Correct Thread
    Most common issues already have a thread, but people don't seem to be able to see them. If you have deleted a playlist post in the deleted playlist thread!
    Make Sure you Accept a Solution!
    I don't really like having to accept a solution for others, as I don't know for sure whether or not it was actually the solution, but the OP of the thread doesn't do it - so who is?
    Give Kudos!
    Kudos is like a pat on the back. Everyone gets a nice feeling when they gain a kudo. Please kudo regularly - they cost nothing and mean everything ;)
    I think that's it...
    If I have forgotten anything don't be afraid to send me a private message about it!

    Hey! Welcome to the community :) 
    If you have 11,000 songs in a Spotify playlist (not as local files you own) you won't be able to mark them all to be available offline, since Spotify limits each device to 3,333 offline stored tracks due to licensing restrictions.

  • Meet the EE Community Stars!

    Hi all,
    You might have noticed that some of our regulars have a small star displayed on their avatar, like this:
    These legendary forum users are heroes. They are our EE Community Stars.
    EE Community stars are users who have made generous contributions to the EE Community and continue to help people out on this forum every day.
    Our trusted stars have a few more permissions than regular community members, such as the ability to upload images and videos. They also have regular contact with the community team and an inside track on the latest developments within our business and the communications industry as a whole.
    If you’ve been lending a helping hand in our support forum and you’d like to become one of our stars, please get in touch with a member of the EE Community team and we’ll take a look at your posts. 
    You don't have to look far to find our stars helping out in the forum. But I've asked them to introduce themselves below: Guys?

    Unlocking your phone is easy when done when still within your contract period (before cancelling/upgrading)
    Contract Phone
    When buying a phone on contract from EE (regardless of store bought from eg CPW) for the first 6 months that phone still belongs to EE under their T&Cs so you are unable to alter anything on the phone or have it unlocked.
    After the 6 months have gone you can have the phone unlocked but this will cost £8.99 which will be added to your next bill.
    The unlock will take anything from 3 working days for iPhone and 7 working days for any other device.
    PAYG Phone
    A PAYG phone can be unlocked whenever you want it to. You don't have to wait the 6 months for it to be unlocked. You will need to add at least £8.99 credit to your account to pay for the unlock.
    Again for iPhone it takes 3 working days and 7 working days for any other device.
    Second Hand Phones
    When buying a second hand phone off a site like eBay/Gumtree (even if they are sold as brand new and sealed) you can't ask for the unlock against your existing contract. You will need to follow the route for PAYG.
    Requesting Unlock
    You can request an unlock either by dialing 150 by Clicking Here
    Just follow down the Contract or PAYG route.
    Completing Unlock
    Once you receive the text from EE to say the unlock is complete (iPhone) or a text with an unlock code (Other Devices) then you can complete the unlock
    Click here to find out how complete the unlock on an iPhone

  • Referencing a file in the same folder as my programs jar.

    I have some images that my application uses and am having a very hard time figuring out how to best reference them. I want it so that my program can be anywhere on the HD as long as it's in one folder. The problem with this is that when I try and reference my images using just the image name, it seems to assume that the user is starting from their home directory. I need a way to make a relative reference to the images in the same directory as my program.
    Any ideas?

    I have tried this but not in the same way you are
    saying to. Any better examples on doing that? That
    documentation is a bit cryptic to me (a new
    programmer in java).Here's a Sun tutorial. It rocks:

    This post might help.

  • Problems realted to changing the language for non-Unicode programs from one into anther.

    Hi,
    Hi everyone!
    Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6-6093ex
    Product Number : LM610EA#A2N.
    My Windows 7(464Bit) Ultimate,  and its base language, and display language is English.
    The Languages(English, French and Arabic) built-in (came re-downloaded and re-installed by the person who made the Windows disc installation). Thus, while installing Windows 7, those three lanauge listed for me to choose one of them to be the base language
    and display language, I have chosen 'English'. In the End of installation, there are three pre-packaged languages(English and French and Arabic) can be used as a display language.
    I would like anyone kindly to confirm for me why I have been facing these problems when changing  language for non-Unicode programs from English into Arabic.
    First: After I have installed the  AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver (sp55092) 8.882.2.3000 on my laptop. The contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic while language for non-Unicode programs
    is Arabic, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A: I found that contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in Arabic (second screen shot below, however,
    when click on any options, for example 'Graphics properties' shown in Arabic in, the second window is shown in English) while language for non-Unicode programs is
    Arabic, and it doesn't matter what format or location is.
    B- when I changed language for non-Unicode programs into 
    English.
    I found that contents of the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are completely shown in English .
    Second:
    A- Only All Arabic contents will be displayed encryptely while language for non-Unicode programs is English
    B-  All the Arabic contents are displayed properly   while language for non-Unicode programs is  Arabic.
    Third: an error extracting drivers and software downloaded from official HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English.
    A-  I noticed an error extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website while language for non-Unicode programs is English and whatever location and format are:
    B- However  while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, there is no error extracting files.
    In conclusion, Is it normal
    for all of you the contents of the of Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel are partially shown in your native while  language  used
    for non-Unicode programs is your native lanague, however, they are completely shown in English while language for non-Unicode programs is English?.  IF so I would be saying that if I have wanted the  contents of documents written in my language
    Arabic to be shown properly, then then I
    must let the language for non-Unicode programs be Arabic.
    Is this happens with you as well?
    Also, if I need extracting all kinds of comprised files(drivers and software) downloaded from HP website, then language for non-Unicode programs
    must be in my Arabic lanague English and whatever location and format are.
    Is this happened with you as well?
    I would highly appreciate any clarification from you.
    A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

    Hi,
    I am confused about your issue.
    when you changed language for non-Unicode programs into  English, it show English.
    while language for non-Unicode programs is Arabic, it show Arabic, If it's none-Unicode.
    This is correct. Why you think it's an issue?
    About your second scenario description, I was not clear what you said. Could you give us a explanation?
    Note: System display language is not the un-Unicode program language.
    You can just choose one language to display the system at same time.

  • Introducing the Skype Community

    Welcome to the Skype Community
    After being in the air since early 2004 as Skype's Forum, since April 2008 as Skype's Community and now as the Skype Community it is about time to introduce the people with badges and those without who you see posting regularly. But first a little explanation of what this community does.
    The Skype Community is a place where Skype users can go for their Skype related question which they can discuss with other users. It can be any question from “How do I answer a Skype Call” to more technical ones. The purpose of this is to unite users in their Skype interests, to give users a chance to help others where they have a bigger knowledge and / or experience with Skype.
    Every day thousands of users sign on to Skype for the very first time. Although there is a comprehensive, ever growing Knowledgebase there will be questions left which can be discussed in the Skype Community with users who have a huge experience in using Skype as their communication tool.
    The variety of users browsing and replying to topics is enormous. From private users who only use Skype to keep in touch with friends and loved ones to Business users and beta testers. Especially beta testers are valuable. They seem to be born (or programmed over time ) to find and report bugs to help them getting resolved.
    Other experienced users are those with a Community Amassador and Moderator badges and then the Skype Staff with the Skype logo next to their name. Next to the Skype related areas we also have a more casual and relaxed area called “Skype Lounge” where you are invited to talk about every day’s life, hobbies and interests and where you can chat with likeminded users who might even become good friends!
    So, who is who in this Skype Community?
    I start with the valuable user. Every user logged on for the very first time and most likely to find help. No doubt the user came to the right place because help is available here in large quantities. Because the Moderators monitor all topics, active users become visible and not seldom we agree that by the consistent help given, such a user deserves the Community Ambassador badge. This is a little award for life and will always express our appreciation. Our Community Ambassadors are involved in a Skype group chat with Moderators for questions, discussions and help. They are not left on their own but have our and each other's full support. 
    Sometimes Community Ambassadors are asked to join the Moderator team. Moderators receive the tools to moderate (work with) the community. This means they can edit, move and if necessary, delete posts (like spam). They guide users, advise them to submit a Support Ticket when necessary and help them to maintain the Community Guidelines. They also reply to posts.
    Because the Skype Community is not an official support channel like Skype Customer Service Ticket System (who would like to see their account / payment details exposed on a public forum? The ticket system guarantees total privacy) Moderators can help the users who, for what ever reason, did not receive the right help via tickets. The preferable help tool is public posts so others with similar issues can find a solution. More private information is exchanged via PM (Private Message).
    Moderators signed an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) with Skype and have access to Skype staff to report and discuss specific problems. This way you are in safe hands.
    Both Community Ambassadors and Moderators are although experienced Skype users, people like you and me. Some have full time jobs, others part time or are retired. All have in common that they like to use Skype, like to help out and are volunteers. They are present in the Skype Community in their spare time. Therefore some can spend more time helping out than others. They are located in different parts of the world, speak different languages. This way they cover 24 hours. Moderators participate in a group chat with the Admins to discuss what is going on in the community, support each other and get help when necessary. 
    Our admins are staff members. They handle the more advanced community tools. Together they are responsible for the whole community. The main community administration is done by yours truly as Community Manager. One of my pleasant tasks is to weekly report to my colleagues to keep them updated about what is going on in the Skype Community: what keeps users busy, their feature requests, problems and positive feedback for all platforms, subscriptions, payments and about all soft- and hardware.
     We do not just operate in the background. We participate actively by reading and posting. We feel a huge responsibility for users, Community Ambassadors and Moderators for whom we also feel a great respect and pride.
    Non Admin Staff members work behind the scenes and in any department within Skype. Their main goal is to improve Skype for the users. Not to maintain or develop the Skype Community. They are real and very nice people who do not hesitate to post in the Skype Community where a reply from staff is appreciated. 
    Not seldom community members grow from User, to Community Ambassadors, to Moderator/Beta Tester to Staff Member. (Maybe here is a little career for you )
    I hope that above helps you to understand the Skype Community and to value the special and dedicated help of the volunteers. They deserve a thumbs up

  • I'm ready to help the FOSS community , but I can't find a proyect.

    I've been working as a C# developer for the last 5 years and using linux for about the same time. One of my goals for the 2011 is to start developing FOSS in my spare time. Maybe in python, I find it interesting.
    However , there are some problems that I am facing:
    1) The proyect: every proyect I found is too big , or too complex , or too boring. Maybe I'm missing something , maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I don't know , Exaile was the closest to a interesting proyect that I found , but after reviewing the code , I couldn't understand the gstreamer logic (I mean , that's the core of the app , right?).
    2) My "coworkers": I'm used to work everyday in the same office and and have a close relationship with them. I don't know how to react to this change and how does the other developers could/would react to a new developer coming to the proyect (I mean , "hey guys , i fixed these bugs and added the 2 things for the next milestone. Btw , I'm Andres" seems wierd lol).
    I think I'm not the first one having these problems , so any feedback would help me.
    Thanks

    How exciting! I love helping FOSS projects, but it can be difficult to decide what to do.
    nagel wrote:One of my goals for the 2011 is to start developing FOSS in my spare time. Maybe in Python, I find it interesting.
    I agree, Python is very interesting. I made my first Python application a few months ago. It was easy to use, fun, and I think using Python helped me to become a better C programmer.
    Keep it simple
    nagel wrote:Every project I found is too big, or too complex, or too boring. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
    My suggestion: choose a project where you need to learn one thing at a time.
    There are languages (examples: Python, C), libraries (examples: GTK, Qt), and programming paradigms. (examples: GUI programming, threaded programming) When you begin working on a project, you will probably need to learn something new. Try to learn only one thing at a time. For example, if you have to learn gstreamer and GTK (two libraries) at the same time then you might become frustrated. Or, if you have to C++ and Qt (a language and a library) at the same time then you might become frustrated.
    So, try to learn one thing at a time.
    Other FOSS developers
    nagel wrote:I'm used to work everyday in the same office and and have a close relationship with them. I don't know how to react to this change and how does the other developers could / would react to a new developer coming to the project.
    I love working online with FOSS developers! It feels like I'm talking to a celebrity. You know, like when Allan or Dusty posts a reply to me on the Arch Linux forums.
    Of course, you should join the mailing list and bug tracker for the project you want to work on. I don't usually introduce myself. Instead, I just start helping, and people will know me soon.
    My FOSS experience
    Here are some examples from my FOSS experience.
    Many years ago, I wanted to write a new FOSS application. I couldn't think of any new applications to make, so I decided to make a video game. There are NEVER too many video games.
    I learned many things by making video games:
    Languages: C, Objective-C, Java, Assembly, Ada
    Libraries: Allegro, SDL, Java SWING
    I've submitted many bug reports to many different projects, such as wxWidgets, Allegro, Udiskie, and Haiku. I really like submitting bug reports and working with the developers to fix the problem. It's easy to do and I get to use better software.
    I maintain some AUR packages. (very easy, but it helps FOSS)
    I helped write the documentation for some software from the Arch Linux community, such as Packer and Udiskie. I've contributed to the Arch Linux wiki.
    Recently, my wife and I wanted a new application for budgetting. I decided to write one. I used Python and wxWidgets. It works pretty well. My next goal is to convert it to C++ and wxWidgets, and then make a version for Haiku using C++ and the Haiku API.
    Interesting things
    You should definiteley work on something that you think is interesting. To me, that's Arch Linux, Haiku, bug reports, and documentation. Try to find things that are interesting to you!
    Lastly, don't make your goal too big and don't try to do too much. There are many many people helping in FOSS. If everyone does a little bit, then we can make something great.

    I downloaded a Java Communications API Win32 ver 2.0 from java.sun.com, and try to use it to do some programming to communication ports with JDK1.3.1.
    I failed. When I tested with the samples (BlackBox, SimpleRead) coming with the javax.comm. It showed "no serial port found", something like that. I check the installation Instructions of the comm. package, it only described the installation under JDK1.1 and the pre-release version of JDK1.2. (and the installation of the same package in JDK1.1 and JDK1.2 are totally different.)I tried the specification with my JDK1.3, but it doesn't work.
    Who knows how to install the Javax.comm package in JDK1.3.1? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thanks a lot.

    This comes straight out of the FAQ that you got with your download:
    Q: My application does not find any ports when it enumerates available ports.
    Q: BlackBox gives me a message that says "No serial ports found!"
    A: In order for the Java communications API to find ports the file
    javax.comm.properties must be in the correct place. The preferred location
    is in <jdk>/lib. See the installation instructions for alternate locations
    and further information.
    Installation is very simple. Comm is a standard extension, so copy comm.jar to %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\ext
    This is all in the docs....

  • Running STAR program in Date Effective mode

    Hi All,
    How the date effective mode of Synchronize Territory Assignment rule concurrent will work? Will it sync all the active territories in that date range? For example if I run the STAR program from 01-Mar-2010 to 31-Mar-2010, will it sync all the territories which are all active in this date range? Will it pick up the territory which has start date as 01-Feb-2010 and end date as 30-Apr-2010?
    Please advice..
    Thanks,
    Suresh.

    The only emulator for running Classic apps I know of is SheepShaver, and from what I've read (though not confirmed) it doesn't work under Snow Leopard (not surprising; SheepShaver hasn't been update in over three years, from what I can see). It also requires the ROM image from an older Mac, and if someone had access to an older Mac to get the image, they could just run the app on that older Mac.
    So I think that the ability to run Classic apps is now completely dead as of Snow Leopard.

    Hello darkhawk,
    Thank you for the recommendation.  I somewhat understand what a MS DOS disk is, but I'm not sure how to go about creating one. I've seen where you can use a program, like Rufus, to create a usb one  - but I'm leery about using 3rd-party programs (especially ones I'm not familiar with). I've come across a couple of 'how-to' tuts, but they didn't clarify what files (if any) I would need to include on the disk (for my particular situation). Right now I don't have any blank cds, nor any extra flash/thumb drives - wish I did, but hadn't needed these for years. There has only been one other time where I needed to re-install Windows, but that was over 15 years ago - I did it through BIOS, reformatting my drives, and then reinstalled via the Windows XP disk. Windows 8 is an entirely different breed, which has left me feeling a bit stumped, at times. If there was a way I could perform it (successfully), similar to the first time I did it years ago, I'd give it a try - but at the same time, I'm a bit reluctant, because if it doesn't work, then I'm stuck without any internet access to get further help.
    Ask and ye shall receive. This should be doable in Windows 7 and Windows 8 on another PC. I recommend using a USB Flash drive like in this tutorial, but I'm sure you could use something else.
    If you want, you could also use Hiren's BootCD to make a bootable CD with many options and programs on it (I keep one, just for certain situations) that will allow you to do the same things.

    Also very useful for sorting out virus's as long as it's downloaded and made on another PC that is virus free......

  • I cannot use the Lion up-to-date program! I bought my MBP on June 8 and when entering the serial number says ineligible! Thanks!

    Thats the deal, i am a qualifiyng user for the Up To Date Program, and when entering the serial number of my MBP it says i am ineligible. I already tried with the form that had to be filled up if the direct method didn`t work and it has the same issue. My only possible explanation is that it seems they recently added a date limit for the submission of an order to get Lion free (July 19), which makes me be very disappointed with Apple because in the first communication about the up to date program they listed: "Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request" .
    Please help me, I am from Chile and my sister bought the MBP to me by the Apple Online Store, so I can`t personally go to an Apple Store to explain my problem.
    THANKS!

    Muchas Gracias!
    Pero dejame hacerte otra pregunta... No entiendo porque sale ahora lo de "submit before july 19th" si es que en un principio dijeron que uno tenia 30 dias desde que saliera Lion para los que compraran despues del 6 de Junio. Esa es mi gran angustia en verdad, no me importa esperar, pero me daria mucha rabia haber perdido la oportunidad de descargarlo gratis. Tu llenaste alguna orden o algo similar antes del 19 de Julio? Yo no hice nada parecido, sin embargo cuando me meto a la parte de la garantia con mi serial number me sale que mi MBP esta activo y registrado y todo.
    Disculpa las molestias, y nuevamente muchisimas gracias!
    P.D: No puedo llamar a Apple porque aca en Chile no esta la Apple Store oficial, es un "authorized reseller" y se llama MACONLINE, asi que no se si ellos me puedan ayudar.
