A admin Audioholics Robot Staff member Apr 16, 2004 172 0 0 Apr 11, 2012 #1 Spotify introduced a new 'Play Button' today that gives users the ability to play any song, album or playlist in Spotify through a website. The Play Button makes all of this possible instantly and, more importantly, legally. How? We have no earthly idea. The new Spotify Play Button works without distracting banners and pop ups - and Spotify claims there will be no "legal takedowns". They claim the button will provide every Spotify user with access to millions of songs - all available in top quality audio. To bring this to light, Spotify teamed up with Tumblr, The Huffington Post, ELLE , Entertainment Weekly, PEOPLE, Time Out Group (New York City, Paris, London), Rolling Stone, Mashable, FanBridge, ShareMyPlaylists.com, FanRx, Popdust, The Independent, the Guardian, NME, Wonderwall, The Fader, Pitchfork, Noisey.com, Chegg and SPIN.com. That's quite a list. Discuss "Spotify Launches Play Button" here. Read the article.

M MidnightSensi2 Audioholic Chief Oct 13, 2010 930 0 63 Miami, FL Apr 14, 2012 #4 It seems to require subscription (which I already have a premium/no commercials). Maybe if you press play it works just like the free version (occasional advert) or if you have premium it just plays? Because, really your not gaining access to anything you don't already have access to on Spotify, they are just making it easier to share. So, therefore, if your subscribing or signed up it's already paid for. Maybe that's how it works? At any rate, I recommend Spotify highly. I listen on my home computer, at work, on the way to work ('listen offline' over bluetooth), and on the airplane ('listen offline' through headphones).
