Add Spotify to WordPress

You can test it out by firstly downloading Spotify from here. Then simply click on the green note icon next to the track in my sidebar (under last.fm) to launch Spotify and play the track.

There is no API for Spotify yet but a bit of digging around in the Greasemonkey script enabled me to send the track name and artist to a search within the Spotify app. Hopefully an API will be available soon which will allow me to do a lot more with the great service.
The icon is taken from the Spotify/Last.fm greasemonkey hack.
All rights are with the original developers of the code.
