Default Spotify Embedding [Added]

Quote:
Spotify launched a new widget yesterday enabling bloggers and website owners to embed playlists set up on the streaming platform into their own sites, enabling readers of said blogs or web pages to listen to a curated selection of music via the host website.

Well, sort of – click on the playlist widget and it fires up the Spotify player and opens it up on the selected playlist (which a website can already do with a simple hyperlink, though the widget does present the playlist info in a pretty fashion and allows users to skip to a specific track when the player opens up).

Some other streaming services, We7 comes to mind, have let bloggers and website owners embed playlists for some time, and usually the music plays via the site itself not an external player, so this development isn’t particularly revolutionary, though it will probably encourage various media to start compiling playlists, pointing their readers in Spotify’s direction to listen to them, which will be great promotion for the streaming platform. And a number of media partners have confirmed they’ll be publishing playlists as part of the launch of the widget.

Says Spotify Chief Product Officer Gustav Söderström: “Today we’re giving every blogger and web editor the ability to light up the internet with music. Adding a personalised soundtrack to your website or blog has never been this easy. You want to give your fans access to any song, album or playlist of your choosing and in its entirety, while ensuring people stay glued to your site? The Spotify Play Button does all of this for free, while making sure artists get paid for every play”.

One partner at launch for the new widget is Tumblr, which will be including a playlist embed button in its user dashboard. Says Tumblr founder David Karp: “We deeply value music as a form of creative expression. That Spotify now lets our users share from millions of their favourite songs is revolutionary, and as huge fans of the product we are absolutely overjoyed about this partnership”.
Would this ever be possible for TiBB? Sounds like a good idea. An example of its use can be seen here: http://www.popjustice.com/briefing/r...-button-thing/

Oh this looks fantastic.

EDIT: I just tried out the thingy on that webpage Shaun put a link to. I love how it plays in the actual Spotify player. It so much nicer to listen from things out of Spotify for me cause I use it all the time. I wouldn't have to open some laggy YouTube tab instead.

You can only listen to snippets of songs you don't own on iTunes. On Spotify you can stream whole songs (albeit inbetween adverts)

You pay iTunes on an item to item basis. Spotify is a service; you pay one price to have access to the music they have available for X amount of time.

At least that was how it worked when I used to use it.

On iTunes, you can only buy songs or albums individually, and can only access them on the computer or device from which you purchased them (unless you copy but lets forget that for now).

On Spotify, none of the music is stored on your computer. Its streamed to your computer from servers. Whats more, is that any song you can access from Spotify's library can be accessed on any computer with internet, because it all streaming based. Like, if you logged in to Spotify on a friends computer, all your songs would be ready to play because they're hosted somewhere else. Its really good.

I use Spotify all the time and aside from the odd outage, its a fantastic service. Its a 100 times better than iTunes.

Oh and Spotify does scrobble. You can just go in the settings, enter your Last.fm details and it'll scrobble all your music from then on.

It looks really good, better than having to embed yt videos if you just want to link to the music. It made it so much better when they bought the function onto FB.

Spotify started allowing me to only play a song 5 times now, bastards

Well when I go back to free in May anyway.

Ah yes, I forgot about the stream limit.

I don't use it because it's also connected to my Facebook, and I can't get it to disconnect. And I just don't want adverts.

It's a new way of fraping people. At uni this kid left his laptop on so we put Aqua and Spice Girls and all that on. He didn't realise for ages.

I just did a Google search and apparently the five play limit (which annoys the **** out of me) is supposed to have been removed back in March, yet it still exists for me...

If you go into Spotify, go to preferences, and you can switch off the posting songs to your timeline thing.
