Spotify Play Button broken: Launch from embedded Play Button only plays first track

antonjw — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:13:22 GMT

On Android (latest version of Spotify installed on ICS) - when launching music from the Spotify Play Button embedded in a blog or website, only the first track of an album or playlist is played - it appears that it is the track that is opened for playing and not the album or playlist.

This is different to the (obviously, desired) behavior on the Desktop version of Spotify - where the playlist or album is opened and plays right through.

This effectively renders the Play Button useless to mobile / tablet users...

I haven't even tried this feature on my mobile devices, so I don't know how it really should work.

I'll ask around and hopefully we will get some more info on if this is working differently on the mobile device than on computers

This is strange, and reproducible on our end too. It's most likely something dodgy with embedding atm, we'll look into it.

So hang on for now, you shouldn't have to do anything on your end to get it sorted.

good - pleased that it's being looked into so quickly.

you might wish to see this thread as well - the play button is also broken on iOS devices - but only when it comes to playing playlists (opens and plays the album instead of the playlist).
