They refused to let us release. They were giving us OKs and thumbs up for months, but after seeing a working integration, they pulled the plug and said we can not release what we had. They insisted that their customers not leave their own Spotify app. Their reasoning was that it was an important aspect of their business that they own the user experience.
Given that our entire value proposition is an alternative user experience, you can see how this led to them rejecting us.
It’s been a while however, so maybe they have changed their minds. Not holding my breath, but we are going to try again.
Obviously getting this done would be awesome for everyone involved. Please don’t flood me with +1s, we already know many of you would love this.
