I would like to embed a Spotify player with 3 or 4 Spotify playlists, not just one. How?
Any feedback highly appreciated. Thanks!
I assume you're using Spotify Widgets - this isn't possible at the moment. You can either build your own widget using the Spotify Web API or embed multiple widgets on your page, one per playlist.

As far as I know, it is not possible to develop a Web app (outside spotify.com) providing a custom Web player which plays Spotify songs, am I right?
The only option still seems to be the spotify play button, which is very limited though.
I have just seen, however, this example
1) http://static.echonest.com/enspex/web/ChillRadio/
this one
2) http://lab.possan.se/thirtify/
and this one
3) https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/code-examples/ (see "Play something" snippet)
that seems to use a custom player (2) and 3) are not working for me, though). Is there any non-documented feature?
Thanks
The Spotify Web API provides URLs to 30 second MP3 previews of tracks, which is what these examples are using. This is documented here (the preview_url property).
It is not possible to do full-length track streaming on the web with Spotify's APIs.
I'd like to allow Spotify users to post a small note along with a song when they post in a collaborative playlist. Is this possible with a Spotify app, or will I have to implement something else? Thoughts?
+1 for the feature idea, but I don't believe it's possible with the current system. You could maintain your own database of comments linked to the playlist and track ids and display it in a Spotify app.
I have developed an iOS App which plays music from the users music library simultaneously with audio files which are included in the app. I have hired a developer to make several changes in the app, one of which enables the user to use their "Spotify" playlists instead of their "Music" playlists, if they have a spotify account. He tells me it is impossible for this functionality to work with the Spotify API.
Can someone please help me as I really need this functionality to work??
Thankyou.
This isn't possible with the Web API, however, take a look at CocoaLibSpotify which is a Mac and iOS library that allows you to access a user's Spotify playlists and play tracks.
I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, but how do you get a playlist to show up inside an index.html for a Spotify App? I've looked all over, and I couldn't find a clear way to do this. I consulted the api-tutorial app and I tried looking over the API Docs. Am I just missing it? I experimented with but that didn't work either.
Also, aside from that, is there a way for only single tracks from the app user's library be dragged into a box to be added to the displayed playlist in real time? Or at least dragged into the box and the data be populated in some type of playlist in my personal profile at least? Or otherwise?
Thanks very much for your help!
Edit: My mistake. Looking at the documentation for Spotify Apps API, the Player class has the property track which gives the current playing track. The above URL shows how to use the observer interface to be notified when it changes.
I want to use spotify play to integrate with an artist's website. I want to be able to access the player API to play items embedded from spotify as part of a combined playlist.
is this possible?
thanks

I think you're talking about the Apps API, which is only available inside the Spotify client.
However, the Spotify Play Button might be what you're after.
