#12Is there an (easy to use) Spotify plugin to let my office-mates vote on or suggest songs to play next? I know there are some hacky solutions, but this new Web API seems like it should make that a lot easier.
letsparty.fm is something we made, but it's based on rdio, not spotify, since they have easier API access.

#13Insane. I was speaking about Spotify API about an hour ago on IRC, Google'd around, found this, disregarded it (how new can it be?) and now it's at the top of HN. This keeps happening to me, with docker release, with deis, with vagrant, so many things I talk about and then I look at hn and they're there, just waiting for me.

I think they hope the API will be used to drive subscriptions to their service. If that ends up being the case, they'll probably keep it around. Of course, nobody can look into the future and see what will happen. Building a business around a public API like this would probably not be a smart move... yet.
