Spotify for Microsoft Surface RT Does anybody know if there are plans to build an RT version of Spotify? So maybe a Windows 8 app is also in the works. Use the Spotify Web Player in Desktop mode, or the normal client if you have a Surface Pro. View entire discussion ( 10 comments) More posts from the Surface community.

Microsoft Rt Surface

• Since Spotify will not build a store app for Windows 8/8.1, I decided to develop my own app to listen to Spotify. It took a few months to reverse engineer Spotify APIs but finally it is working and stable. It has been on the Windows Store for over a week now and I have fixed many glaring glitches to make the experience smooth.

Microsoft Surface Rt Spotify App Store

The Windows Store offers more than 100,000 apps for your Microsoft Surface, with more apps appearing each week. Here’s a look at some of the most popular apps in the Windows Store, and why they deserve a spot on your Surface.

MediaMonkey

Your Surface includes the Music and Video apps for playing your tunes and movies. But those apps spend too much of their time convincing you to buy more music and video. Media Monkey, by contrast, focuses on ways for you to enjoy the music and video you already own. The app plays both music and video, and it supports a wider variety of media formats than Microsoft’s built-in apps. Most important, though, the free app puts the focus on your own media collection, not Microsoft’s. (Upgrading to the Pro version for $4.99 lets you sync wirelessly with your home network.)

Free import of google music playlist to spotify. The only problem was that I had spent a lot of time curating the music I liked on Play Music and there was no obvious way to import those playlists in to Spotify. Luckily I'm not the only one that faced this problem and so after a quick search I found the resources I needed.

Netflix

The Netflix app offers access to Netflix’s streaming library of thousands of movies. If you’re not a Netflix subscriber, the app provides a compelling reason as to why you should pony up the monthly fee. Netflix sorts its thousands of available videos into almost 80,000 categories to make the most esoteric niches easy to find. Are you only into Dark Thrillers Based on Books, for example? Netflix’s uncanny recommendation system ensures you’ll find movies you want to watch, whenever the couch calls.

Google Search

The Google Search app lures you in with its famous search engine. Unlike Microsoft’s built-in Bing search engine, the Google Search app doesn’t even require you to type your search. Just tap on the onscreen microphone, say what you’re looking for, and Google delivers.

The app also provides a gateway to Google’s other services. Tap the Applications button, and Google provides access to Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Drive, YouTube, and more. Installing the Google app is an easy way to take advantage of Google’s best services without having to install a dozen apps on your Surface.

OneNote

The Surface RT and Surface 2 come with the full desktop version of OneNote, Microsoft’s popular note-taking app. Microsoft’s OneNote team also released OneNote as a free Start screen app, making it available for owners of the Surface Pro and Pro 2, as well. The OneNote app’s finger-sized controls let you create OneNote files on the fly, as well as browse through your existing OneNote files.

The OneNote app accesses the same OneNote files you’ve created with your PC, phone, or other device. When you store your OneNote files on SkyDrive, you can read and edit them easily from your Surface’s Start screen. At the least, it’s a handy way to keep a shopping list that anybody in the family can access from any device. At the most, it’s a fantastic way to organize school classes, travel plans, and favorite recipes.

Amazon Kindle

Amazon leads the field with ebooks, and Amazon’s Kindle app lets you read books on nearly any device, including your Surface. The Kindle app lets you access ebooks you’ve purchased from Amazon, and it lets you download those books to your Surface for reading when you’re away from an Internet connection.

Even if you only read free classics in the public domain, the Kindle app means there’s always a fantastic book within an arm’s reach.

Remote Desktop

Perhaps an odd choice, Remote Desktop is too advanced for most people. But for the few who need it, it’s quite an ace in the hole. Remote Desktop lets you connect to another computer over a network or the Internet. After you connect by entering the correct username and password, that distant computer’s screen fills your Surface’s screen. From there, you can access that computer’s files and run its programs just as if you were sitting in front of it. On the road and need to check the files of your home or work computer? Remote Desktop can handle the job.

TuneIn

Internet Radio stations fill nearly every musical niche around the world, and the TuneIn app lets you listen to nearly thousands of stations catering to every musical genre. If you prefer to stick around your hometown, many of your local stations are also available. The app even carries many local police and file scanner channels, if you want to know where that nearby siren’s headed.

TuneIn provides a handy way to listen to your favorite type of music without having to stuff your Surface with MP3 files.

Facebook

Facebook finally created a Windows app, which quickly rose to the top of the Windows Store’s Top Free apps category. There’s one caution, though: The Facebook app only runs on Windows 8.1, so Surface RT and Surface Pro owners must upgrade to Windows 8.1 before installing it. But once you’ve installed the app, you’ll find Facebook navigation to be easier than plunging in through Internet Explorer.

Flipboard

The Internet brims with so much information that it’s difficult to find the interesting stuff. That’s where Flipboard steps in. Dubbed as “Your Personal Magazine” by its creators, Flipboard starts by letting you tap a few tiles based on your interests. For example, tap the News, Technology, Travel and Politics tiles, and Flipboard scours the Internet, pulling in popular articles that match those topics. (It even tosses in your social media feeds, if you’ve added those to the mix.) Whenever you open Flipboard, a newly issued personal magazine is ready for browsing.

Music Maker Jam

Microsoft Rt Apps

Whether you’re a struggling music student or a hotshot bebop player, Music Maker Jam brings something to the table. Choose a style of music by tapping its tile, and Music Maker Jam begins playing a loop of the basics: bass, drums and a rhythm instrument. From there, you can pick and choose between the loops to create something new, or pick up a real instrument and start jamming along to whatever loops are playing. It’s a fun way to turn music into a hands-on game rather than a spectator sport.

Microsoft Surface Rt App Store

Ever since information about Windows 8‘s consumer preview was announced last year, Spotify users have been requesting a Windows 8 application. Currently, Spotify can only be run through a desktop executable file (which is not available to Windows RT users) or accessed via a beta web browser interface. The online interface, which can even be accessed within Google Chrome OS, is usable but does not allow offline syncing of playlists.

With products like Microsoft’s Surface and Lenovo’s IdeaTab Lynx, both running Windows RT, there is a need for a Windows Store application. So far, popular radio services such as Slacker have joined the RT bandwagon, but neither of the top two streaming contenders (Spotify and Rdio) have released their respective apps for the platform.

A post within the “Spotify Ideas” forum has sparked over 870 up-votes or “kudos” signaling that the company should get the ball rolling. Until a week ago, there was no sign of activity on the Spotify front, but recently @SpotifyCares tweeted out a reply to a user stating that: “We don’t have a specific date for it [a Windows RT app] but it’s something our developers are working on.”

This tweet hopefully signifies that a Windows 8 application is on it’s way soon to the Windows Store, and we won’t have to wait much longer.

What would you do if Rdio released its RT application first – would you switch or wait for Spotify to release one of its own?
