I recently started playing with Spotify. It seems good. I’m particularly for them to start up in Australia so I can leach off my far-more-musical-than-I-am friends over there.
Anyway, I read today that they’ve introduced the Spotify Play Button: a means of embedding links to Spotify-hosted music in blogs. I figured I’d give it a try, so here we go:
Actually, that’s still annoyingly complicated. I shouldn’t have copy the Spotify URI, go to their website, paste in the Spotify URI, copy the iframe code and then paste it in the HTML view of a blog post. But no doubt somebody will write a WordPress plugin to use this more sensibly.
Update: It looks like the embedded thingy still insists on opening the Spotify desktop app. That’s also annoying.
