Interesting..

> 'and provides users with important metrics like their top tracks, top artists, and recently played tracks, queryable by time range'

Is your feature selling point the time range ? I'm confused.. Looks like spotify has this already...

EDIT: I get it now: Change the title to : Manage your own Spotify

Any extra functionality ?

This is cool. I've been wanting to modify Spotify to use the WhoSampled API to auto-suggest, Amazon Prime X-ray style the songs a given song samples. Maybe i'll do it now.

Interesting, I didn't know Spotify had an API to play music on iOS…

Every spotify app can act as a remote control if spotify already plays on another device. E.g. if spotify plays music on a PC, then you select another song in the smartphone app, it will actually change the playback on the PC. I guess the api allows to tap into that.

That’s definitely possible. You can modify seeds with Spotify’s api
