I will be testing exactly this on my Macmini when SL is installed very shortly…

Could save big time on the electric bill

Just read this in the Snow Leopard update…

With Snow Leopard and a compatible AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station, however, your computer can go to sleep yet continue to share its files with other computers and devices, waking when you need it and sleeping when you don�t.

I wonder if this will allow Simplify to work while my MacBook is asleep? Anyone familiar with it enough to comment? Thanks.

I use spotify all the time, brilliant service, and while I still have loads of music on my computer I still prefer spotify.

Can't wait for the app to be out in appstore.

@jtz5

I use simplify on my laptop all the time. Set your laptop to never sleep, just to turn your screen off after a reasonable amount of time not being used (eg 10 minutes). If you don't have a laptop mat, prop it up so the air intake underneath is exposed over long periods of use.

I am a BIg fan of Simplify. Why would I pay for a service when I can get it for free. I have over 2000 Gb of music on my hard drive at home. And if I wnt to listen to any new music that comes out, there is Pandora, AOL Radio and TONS of othre FREE services.

I’d rather take my $15 an go to a movie.

to jtz5, You laptop cannot be asleep because the internet connection is not working while asleep and therefore you cannot get to your music. sorry.

For those mentioning Simplify, does my laptop always need to be on or can it be asleep with screen closed?

I think 9/9-09 is to be expected. With appearance on the Apple event on the same day.

And in my dreams, Apple have realized the potential of the application and:

Ensured a joint deal with all of the record companies together with Spotify, syncronizing the catalogs of iTunes and Spotify.
Given the app a special status, either making it a standard iPhone/iTouch app, or at least allowing it to multi task.

But that's just in my dreams...

I have allways used simplify media. It works fine for me so not much point in paying.

It was approved on August 27 and still doesn't appears in Appstore.

Weird?

@Mike-

Can you tell me more about Simplify? I have 60GB of music stored on my Apple Time Capsule. Besides my iPhone, I also use a Sonos system to listen to music at home. Thanks.

It's not just that it hasn't appeared. They seem to be actively blocking it. Last week when you searched for spotify 3 apps came up, all remote control iPhone apps.

Now when you search for spotify in desktop or on the phone it comes back with 0 results.

A little odd and I'm sure very annoying for the likes of rowmote etc who enable spotify desktop control.

I’ve been waiting for this to come to the US for some time now. I hope that Spotify comes here before Apple disapproves the app!

I bet the Sept 9 event introduces the ability to do this through iTunes. No one will then be paying for Spotify.

It’s not only streaming, you can cache your playlists on the phone to play them offline. It requires a subscription though, about $15/month.

Maybe they’re waiting on September 9 for some reason… Not sure I’d use a streaming or a subscription service, but for those who would, it’s nice to see options.
