This is not a new idea. A Swedish forum has a discussion thread Dj:a med Spotify that suggested the same thing months ago.
With both despotify and libspotify available, someone with time and interest could make something like UltraMixer but with Spotify as the main source of music. A DJ with this application would have the world’s biggest record crate!
Some possible obstacles:
- Playing more than one song at a time. Could be solved with multiple Spotify accounts.
- How does streaming affect BPM and changing pitch? Use a big cache?
- Maybe the libspotify Terms of Use has some restriction affecting this
I will also suggest Spotify integration to the UltraMixer developers. Maybe that could earn me a “Professional” license? 🙂
By the way, has anyone made a uniform interface to despotify and libspotify so that they can be used interchangeably?
I love to see that too!!
