Tech Article 4/13


Spotify

In their quest to become the dominant streaming music service, Spotify has introduced yet another new feature: the Spotify Play Button. If you interact with Spotify through Facebook, you already have an idea of what this is like. You see a box for a song on Spotify, you hit play, and it automatically loads up the song on your desktop Spotify app.
The player is designed to work with virtually any internet platform that supports the common web standards, and allows enough freedom for anyone to tinker and customize the embedded widget to their liking. You can create play buttons for songs, albums or playlists, with or without album art. And if you want to drop a widget you see on your own site or blog, you can easily copy the embed code to do so. In addition, Spotify is working with Tumblr, Spin and The Fader to have the buttons fully integrated into the respective sites.
