Excellent! Just too handy! It's an amazing app!

This app is AMAZING!! It took me over 18 months of putting up with Spotify's lack of global hotkeys to find this app, but I'm so glad I did. I'm pretty dang pumped that I can use all of my old Winamp global hotkeys now. Thanks so much for your hard work! Hotkeys might not seem like much, but when you work at a computer and listen to music as much as I do, they really do make things so much easier.

Wow thanks for this very useful application! Works like a charm!

Very nice hotkey stuff - if only the volume up/down changed spotify volume, and not system volume!! Please add that!! :)

Must agree with rwilson513 and Gameguy75 in that the only flaw i can really find with this is the ability to not set the toast to always appear on top of all the other windows - if that change were made this would without a doubt get a 5 star from me! Great work! Updated 3/6/13 - With the "always on top" fixed in 1.6, updated to 5 star as promised!

I have to agree with Gameguy75--my only gripe is also that you can't see the Toast popup in front of other windows. This problem makes Toastify (for me) unusable :( Would you be open to making the source code available for others to modify? Or making a change for the Toast to stay on top of all windows? If that was fixed, it's totally a 5-star app! Great idea!

My only gripe is that you can't see the toast in front of windows you can only see it on the desktop someone tell me if this can be changed

really nice.

For anyone who uses Spotify - get this! You'll see what a mean. Can't understand how I could have survived without this. En elogé to you dear developer for offering us all this little application for free. 5 out out 5. Without a doubt.

You sir, are a legend and i love you. If you were a girl and i was a man i'd kiss you. I am a man... are you a girl?

Absolutely required. I cannot believe a plugin is required for these functions. GREAT WORK!

Just what spotifiy needs... Why don't they implement this in the main client :/
by inversechi on Nov 18, 2011 at 8:23 AM
     
I love this!!! It makes it so much easier to change music etc. But when you change the volume, it changes the computer volume, and not spotifys :(

Great app! Shame that you have to have a premium account to get an API key otherwise there would be more apps for Spotify around. Just one quick note - "nothings playing" should be "nothing's playing" or even just "nothing playing." Thanks again - sorry to complain about such a minor thing.

I've started a group on Facebook to get out the word on the net. If you've got an account, please join and invite your friends. I didn't find any similar group made by you, but if you actually made one, I will delete mine, join yours and invite my friends.

Wonderful!!! I'm surprised this havn't been implemented by default in Spotify which otherwise is one of the best implementations I've used. I'd love the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+O to open a small search dialog to search, queue and select tunes. The search reult could be displayed in spotify or in a small simple list that could be navigated directly with the keyboard (arrows and enter).
by matsnas on Mar 9, 2009 at 8:28 AM
     
WOW!!! This is exactly what I want. However, an option to turn of the shortcut key would be nice, seeing that some of the applications I'm using also have those keys registered.
