Suggestion: Spotify connect

0

I think a good way for buddypress to become better than competition is to have a feature to share spotify playlists.

People who sign up to social networks are often new with things, so they use spotify which is the new big thing. I know there’s a website where you can share your spotify playlists. Why not make it a feature of buddypress?

This from a guy who doesn’t even run a buddypress website… so you know it’s good :wink:.

    Considering that it’s country specific and that the US appears not to be one of those countries, I don;t think this will go that far.

    At least I’m blocked.

    What countries is Spotify available in?

    Spotify is currently available in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the UK, France and Spain. We hope to launch in more countries in the future.

    When will Spotify Free be available in my country?

    At this time we don’t know when we may launch in more countries.

    Hmmm, I wonder if I can get in via my seedbox…..

    There’s also a couple of mentions of them having problems with their API although they’re a couple of months ago so not sure what’s occurring now.

    edit: Not trying to disagree with you. Just wondering if there’s enough interest in such a thing. Heck, I had to go look it up. Never heard about it before.

    Well how about a "Now playing" plugin?

    X is now listening to: Artist – Song.

    Not nessesarily connected to spotify but it could be filled in by the user. OR a plugin that lets you add fields like that (maybe thats already in BP?) for users to fill in.
