After a ton of iteration, headphones are optional, muting is optional. But the devil was in the details: How do you prevent music from echoing when people aren’t muted? Can people hear each other over music? The answer was deceptively simple: Fade the music when people talk. We started with voice chat (and camera or screenshare if you want). But even if you are not the DJ of the session, you can pause the song when you need to talk to someone next to you – and then it syncs with the rest of the group when you’re back – or the app just adjusts everyone’s volume so you can talk over music without echo or distracting them.įor those who don’t pay for Spotify, users will still hear the ads and then they are synced again with the rest of the group. In a Remotion Room, you can gather your friends or coworkers and share your Spotify listening experience with them. According to the developers, the app brings better audio quality as well as the ability to edit playlists together and control your own music volume better than Zoom. Remotion controls your Spotify app locally. With the app, you can listen to music and talk like you’re side by side with them – and the best part is that Remotion works even with those who don’t have Spotify Premium.

#Spotify for mac mini portable
With all those pieces, the SE/30 becomes a handsome, functional piece of art. This, along with porting a conversion utility that translates UTF-8 text encoding into something the Mac can understand ties everything together. Writing the app involved dealing with OAuth, which means the MacPlayer isn’t entirely standalone some of it must be done on a ‘modern’ device. That’s a connection to the Internet, but actual wrote an app to connect to a Spotify playlist, browse tracks, and display album art in beautiful 1-bit color. Tie that together with a Finder extension and you have System 7, with WiFi. This is a continuation of one of earlier hacks that basically put a WiFi to Ethernet bridge inside an SE/30. You could theoretically get the Mac to speak, “Alexa, play Despacito” and get the same functionality, but that’s not fun, is it? You need to do it wirelessly. The trick is that this SE/30 is simply a remote for Spotify Connect. The 68030 CPU just wasn’t fast enough to play audio, to say nothing of streaming it over a network connection. While the SE/30 supported an astonishing 128 Megabytes of RAM, it’s still just a bit too slow to play MP3s or any modern audio codec.
You might be asking yourself how a computer from 1989 (it’s late enough in the year that we can safely say this computer is thirty years old) can possibly play music over the Internet. A case in point: here’s an SE/30 that’s a Spotify player. No, the SE/30 is so great because of how powerful it is, and how much it can be expanded. The Macintosh SE/30 is the greatest computer ever made, and I’m not saying that just because I’m sitting on a cache of them, slowly selling them to computer collectors around the world.
