Dear Spotify

I've upgraded 2 laptops from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10.

In upgrading Spotify/Wine I've had to make some changes.

First...my spotify failed to play local files again...

I had to download this:  winemp3.acm.so (x86 only)

then open a terminal session by pressing ctrl-alt-t. do a sudo su(to run as root) type your password, then type cp winemp3.acm.so /usr/lib/wine/winemp3.acm.so (x86 only)

After copying the file, I edited the wine config...click the audio section, and I changed the sound driver from oss to alsa, and the hardware acceleration from emulation to full.









After changing this, sound worked.

One thing to note, .m4a files don't play...but .mp3 files do.

So, if you have .m4a files and want to convert them, download sound converter.











open Ubuntu Software center, and search and click install. then open the folder and convert the files.



Thats it.

  1. Due to the variety of Outlook versions, logging out process is pretty different from one version to the other. On top of that, the signing out process also differs from OS to OS. The signing out process for Windows Operating System is pretty different from Mac OS. Such a difference in signing out process also differs from the PC version of Outlook and online version of Outlook. In this article, I am going to share how to sign out from outlook app windows 10.

    If you are using the updated version of Outlook app such as Outlook 16 or 19, you can not sign out from your Outlook account alone. As on Windows 10, applications like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Outlook is combined in Microsoft Office Suite package, you can not sign out from any of these separately.
