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 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.
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.
Given an artist, does the Spotify app api provide the ability to get related artists? This would be essentially the same list that is shown in the upper right corner of the artist detail page.
There are several 3rd party apis that provide access to this kind of data (like last.fm or echonest), but I'm wondering if this information is directly available in a spotify app.
No it does not. You could use echonest api to get similar artists and music.
While the previous answer was true at the time it was asked, I wanted to note that this information is now available in the v1.x api - Artist's have a related collection, in case others come looking for the same info.
