Integrate HTML5 with play.spotify.com

[Stigmata]

With the new Xbox one coming out and it not supporting flash, I believe Spotify needs to revamp their play.spotify.com site to support HTML5 also, flash is a bit old, isn't it? I think this will greatly improve the experience on the site as well. <br><br>Thank you.

Seriously, Flash is like USB 1.0 right now. Also, in my case, having to use Linux at work without superuser powers means HTML is the way to go.

Flash is already dead. Major browsers already start to think about dropping flash and I also disabled flash everywhere some time ago. So in about a year the Spotify Webplayer probably won't work anymore and theres no other choise than moving to HTML5.

Google Chrome and Firefox will block Flash player in this year. Then Spotify web player worked anymore so Spotify web player must be change to HTML5.

just another angry comment about flash.

+1 for HTML 5 web player

Here's a thing. Chrome has about 40-50% of desktop browser share worldwide, and during December Google will do this to nearly all Flash content within Chrome v55;

No pressure, Spotify.

Here's the "problem" with html5, there's no DRM.

Obviously DRM is the problem, but we're dealing with dinosaurs here, or more like, Spotify has to deal with them.

DRM is a soved problem.

PS Dont be sneaky and block off XBOX ONE browsing when you do get the thumbs out on this 🙂
