Well I’ve seen the future of on-line music and its one of those things that will revolutionise the industry.A huge selection of On-Demand music anywhere, hosted in the Cloud, Custom Playlists that follow you anywhere as well as the ability to share with your friends and the icing on the cake, supporting the artist through the same adverts as a radio. I know last.fm has offered this service for a while, but Spotify have simplified the process for your average user who just want Music now with the same clean look and speed of Itunes! After plugging this software to as many people as possible I have found this software can be turned portable. Spotify upon installation installs 2 files to C:\Program Files\Spotify
“Spotify.exe” and “Uninstall.exe”
Grab a new usb memory stick , Copy the Spotify.exe to the memory stick, Plug into a computer at Work, School, University and Internet Cafe, Login with your Spotify details , and your off again!
It does work from a pendrive, but it stretching the definition of a portable application a little. Strictly speaking a portable app needs to run from a removable device and not leave any traces on the computer itself (like registry keys etc), which spotify unfortunately does if run in this fashion. Only a minor gripe though, the important thing is that it works.
when i installed spotify i installed it to my memory stick so it didn’t install anything onto the c drive did you try this? if you didn’t my memory stick scares me!
I would try installing it Locally on the C , then copying over the needed executable manually!
