Fidelify

UPDATE 03. apr 2012: The new version of Fidelify has been delayed a few weeks. We'll be back with more information shortly!

UPDATE: Fidelify is currently undergoing a complete rewrite from .Net to C++, to improve compability with Spotify Core and overall stability. As a result there will be no updates untill Q1 2012.

About

Fidelify uses Spotify Core to deliver streaming content in a bit perfect stream directly to the soundcard, using either ASIO or WASAPI. In addition the player itself is optimized for bufferless playback to minimize jitter. Convolver DSP is integrated in the player to allow real time FIR filter correction of the audio stream, and a custom VST module to allow users running an additional DSP effect or EQ on the audio stream.

Fidelify is currently in beta, which means that a fully functional verified stable release is not yet ready. Please forward any bug reports to beta@fidelify.net

Planned features

There are a lot of features planned for Fidelify, but the core features are implemented first. If you have any ideas or feature requests dont hesitate to send a mail to support@fidelify.net

The planned features as of now to be implemented are playlist editing, direct memory streaming, FLAC/MP3 local playback and social features.

Troubleshooting

A few people are having trouble with the error "Unable to load DLL 'libspotify'. Invalid access to memory location." This is caused by the Spotify Core library using shared resources without permission from the OS. If you encounter this problem try to run Fidelify as administrator. If that does not help try shutting down non essential programs and services. Running Xfire, AnyDVD, VNC or OpenAL apps have been known to cause this error.
