Hi, Doesn't Spotify have an API that someone could write an accessible app that would work?
From: Dave Bahr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2014 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: spotify app? Wo, do I detect a slight hint of bitterness in this statement? Possibly interlaced with some melodrama for good measure? the new generation of developers straight out of schools, baptized on ignorance and weaned on indifference to the world outside social networking and reality television. Anyway, back to the not quite so bold issue of the spotify app, I say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, if maybe enough people bring the issue to these scary developer folks, maybe they'll listen? We could start a campaign of some sort? Possibly look for some sympathy in the company? But please, dear programming gods, don't let me be plunged into the flash-based lake of fire!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. On 6/5/2014 12:46 AM, Samuel Wilkins wrote: I'm sure that GW Micro would be happy to work with Spotify to make it more accessible. It is true that there is a large market, and actually, making the software accessible has proved to be of benefit for fully sighted people. For example, the Tesco website used to have a text only version of their website, but they found that other people were using that version more than the standard version, so they took down the standard version. I would have thought that it would not be difficult to do something similar to ITunes in Spotify, by having it in an HTML window, rather than flash as it seems to be now, and I would think it would only take a small amount of rewriting. -----Original Message----- From: MJ Williams [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 04 June 2014 23:37 To: GW Micro Product Discussion Listserv Subject: RE: spotify app? Just a brief observation: Strange, is it not, how, despite the sizable customer base blind people potentially offer Spotify, the corporation has so far responded with so little enthusiasm to their usability concerns. I'm afraid, Spotify isn't unique in this respect. I'm afraid this is only the beginning of a new era of HCI homogeneity. the new generation of developers straight out of schools, baptized on ignorance and weaned on indifference to the world outside social networking and reality television.

You will also need to stop spotify from updating automatically.
