I did a little research on this, and turns out the Spotify API for Windows supports playing only a preview of songs, and not the full length. The IOS and Android APIs do support playing the full length. So, my guess is that Spotify doesn't want to support full play of songs under Windows for either security reasons, or the music industry has their usual strangle hold in place.

What that developer did was a hack, and Spotify will NEVER officially release a Windows API because of the greedy music industry in the US.

Why so narrow-minded? Music industry or not, we all don't like them but they do exist. Spotify has prevailed, at least with younger people. It is simply a possibility to offer almost any music track, however rare it may be. The jukeboxes can only get better. And what the guy did is far from a hack. There is no need for a special "Windows" API if there is a web API. developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/search/search/developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/player/start-a-users-playback/type string Device type, such as “Computer”, “Smartphone” or “Speaker”. This can be done by stupid curl call for example. If you install the Spotify player on Windows, the PC is becoming an endpoint so Touchjams only has to send authenticated web calls to control it. |

Yes, Spotify has basically unlimited music, etc., etc.
Let's pretend that TouchJams can queue up a song on the Spotify player. Is there support for notifications that the song is done playing? The Spotify player will be playing songs, so now there'd be no way to support crossfading, eq, sound visualizations. That's why I say it'd be a hack. Until Spotify opens up streaming to whatever player (TouchJams), there's no good way to incorporate it.

developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/player/Okay, let's assume that. The current song could be queried in the first step. The whole playback time etc. is in the response, that means you know when to start playback by TouchJams again. You can get the covers and all that stuff about it as well. For crossfading, you could just try lowering the volume towards the end (PUT) (admittedly, that would be a little hack). Visualizations can theoretically also be realized via the internal loopback of DirectShow or WAC, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel (poor example: youtu.be/tyapMcqbpHk). I don't use software EQ, but I don't have a solution for that either.

I'm think I'm done debating this item.
