Fringan replied on March 16, 2009 10:06 to the idea "Web page IP history for account access?" in Spotify:
As far as I can recall I have used Spotify once at another location, but that was at close friends place sometime last year and I made sure I logged out without saving the password. Thanks to (the excellent feature) collaborative playlists I haven't had to use my own password in other peoples clients after that.-

Web page IP history for account access?I keep my passwords fairly safe (exclusively in my head, and wearing a tin foil hat ofc).
Today, for the first (and only) time, Spotify paused itself telling me someone else was using my account. I changed the password right away but I still don't know if this was a bug of some kind or if someone actually accessed my account.
It would be nice to have a list (on the web page) to see what IP-addresses that has accessed your account lately, just to be sure no one unauthorized is using it. G-mail has this feature and it is a very nice for paranoid people such as myself.
(As a side note, I scanned for any kind of key logger/malware with no hits, made sure no one accessed my mail (through ip-history ^^ ), made sure no one had hacked my wlan etc etc but still haven't figured out how someone could have accessed my Spotify account, especially since I use long, non-dictionary passwords)
Anyway. Please consider publishing IP history on something like the Overview account page! -
A comment on the question "API out soon or do we create our own ugly hacks?" in Spotify:
I agree Peter, in the future their business is hopefully payment routines, signing contracts with record companies and supplying a vanilla client and then leave it up to the users in what way (with what software) they wish to connect to Spotify (using valid user accounts ofc). The whole API thing doesn't seem to happen anyway, I guess they have enough to do anyway. – Fringan, on February 24, 2009 15:58 -

A comment on the question "API out soon or do we create our own ugly hacks?" in Spotify:
Youtube URL:s has the same "problem" as Spotify URI:s; there is no way of knowing what the content behind the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jIJDO...
Youtube offers access to all meta data through http://gdata.youtube.com
An example for the youtube URL above would be:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/vi...
Querying for Artist/Song/Album/Popularity/Genre using a Spotify URL like that would make life a lot easier and it shouldn't take too long to implement. I guess the amount of data transmitted could be cut down by offering the most common stuff (probably artist/song name) in one request and complete meta data in another.
XML is well known and easy to understand for most people.
I was hoping for an API where 3:rd party apps could query the client for "currently playing" and for "add x to playlist y" but I understand you're going for a webservice first. I guess maybe it would be possible to authenticate with the service to be able to get currently playing track from there, depending on the architecture of your system ofc. – Fringan, on January 09, 2009 20:33 -
Fringan started following the question "When will there be some or all Pink Floyd albums be available?" in Spotify.

API out soon or do we create our own ugly hacks?I assume there will be an API for getting currently playing song title/artist/URI/album/song length etc. The question is WHEN? We need it for twitter, IRC and so on, and we need it NOW :)
How about an API call for adding a spotify URI to playlist X, to queue or to play it right away? (you don't always want to play an URI right away you know, a choice would be nice)
