I added the Spotify player to my app which also plays music using the MPMusicPlayerController. When music is playing from Spotify and the screen is locked, the remote control events are not received for play/pause and FFW/RWD when the user presses these buttons on the locked screen. If music is playing from the MPMusicPlayerController, I am able to receive the remote control events based on the following code: -(void) ViewDidLoad { ... [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents]; [self becomeFirstResponder]; ... } and - (BOOL) canBecomeFirstResponder { return YES; } -

Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song. As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment. This is not possible through the Spotify API right now. The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around. Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site. http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Personal-play-count-for-songs/idi-p/506618 However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that

I have created a Client ID and Secret Key in Spotify's developer app section. I am referencing this document and want to extend this by choosing multiple artists. https://www.r-bloggers.com/the-eurovision-2016-song-contest-in-an-r-shiny-app/ In this example, they are only choosing 1 artist ID but there are some holes to this, 1) How do you obtain the artist name rather than the artist ID because I can't find a glossary key anywhere for the artist ID? 2) How do you choose multiple artists rather than just one. So for example, how do I choose Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley? Code is below:

I am trying to integrate Spotify Play Button into ThingLink Spotify tag so that when the iframe loads, it starts playing automatically. Is there a way to do that with some parameter? The functionality would be similar to Soundcloud & Vimeo players here: http://www.thinglink.com/scene/251225958915244034 Without the autoplay, user would have to click on Play twice, which wouldn't be that good of UX. Thanks! -Albert There is no autoplay functionality at present. Autoplay isn't really what the Play Button is about — it's designed so people can listen to music if they want to. We don't really want

I'm making a little app that displays a list of the top first song of an artist's related artists. When I try and load my app for the first time, it shows nothing. But, when I "Reload Application" everything seems to work. When I constantly start "Reloading" it keeps adding more of the same tracks to the list as well. How do I stop it from continually appending more tracks to the list as well as tighten up the code so that it works on load? require([ '$api/models', '$views/list#List', '$api/toplists#Toplist' ], function(models, List, Toplist){ 'use strict'; // Build playlist function buildList
