The developer Paul Lamere has found a way to use Spotify with Siri without the need to jailbreak your iPhone 5. This was demonstrated during the competition Hack Artists at SXSW 2013 in Austin (Texas) earlier this week. We wanted to test ...
Siri makes us laugh, it also helps us not to kill us in the car. We like him, but at times it would almost want him inoculate a virus! Especially when he turned a deaf ear when asked to run third party applications.
The developer / blogger Paul Lamere has found a way around this to use Spotify with Siri on the iPhone 5. The trick is called "A longer life for post-rock fans."
In summary, it has created and programmed a phone number via API Twilio.com. He made sure that this issue meets the sms sent to it by Spotify links. So, just tell Siri to write a text message to this number (which you can add to your repertoire as "Spotify" for example) containing the name of the artist you want to hear. You're supposed to get a few seconds later a reply containing your Spotify link, tap the link and voila. Not ideal, but clever. We therefore wanted to test.
But then, the trick does not work in France. Number being American could have guessed! But never mind, we set our own number. Fortunately, the source code is available. So let the Twilio website to see how to access the service.
This is where we come across a small detail that probably discourage good programming Maritains Saint-such a number as a service to users of Spotify on iPhone 5. Because the service is paying Twilio! And whenever the tip is used. And the creator of the number will be reduced by 7 cents (U.S. $) SMS, it certainly is not much, but when you give the number publicly, it can end encryption.
In addition, you can not create French number for now, seems to be waiting Twilio demand increases to address the issue. One wonders suddenly how long the creator of the number that people accept empty little-by-little bank account ... And why would anyone use this method when a jailbreak finally seems so simple in comparison (and free).
What is surprising is that this method has received two awards. It also deserves a third: that the best buzz com as the winner of the story is ... Twilio
