Hi Kinya,

I read somewhere that the link between ASD and Spotify does not work any longer. Not sure who/what made this happen. It is indeed a great application.

If so have you heard of any recommendations for the latest Apps?

NOTE: I made a previous posting in error and would like to erase this posting but have not worked out how I can do that yet. My Apologies.

Thanks as always.

Amazing Slow Downer

Hello Inky, I too was disappointed and upset with this turn of events. Being able to import my Premium Spotify songs directly into my iPhone Amazing Slow Downer app was super convenient and useful!

I contacted the CTO of Ronin (ASD) and even signed a petition to Spotify, but alas...

I recommended you look for apps that can convert YouTube (video and/or music) into wav or mp3. From there you can import your "downloaded" file into ASD. 

Your HARPSMITH, Kinya

apps that work

"4K Youtube to MPS 3" works great.

Try this in your browser?

I don't use Spotify so i don't know whether this will work, but for anything web based (and it seems Spotify has a web player) you should check the Chrome extension i mentioned at https://www.bluesharmonica.com/free_chrome_extension_change_pitch_speed_and_loop_videos_your_browser

I use for YouTube videos and it's much better than the built-in speed selector in YouTube, plus it can change pitch/transpose audio and set loops too. It works on blues harmonica.com (which iirc uses Vimeo) too. You can also download the song but this is much faster and equivalent.
