Integrate HTML5 with play.spotify.com

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.

Hey everyone! We can confirm this very popular idea is now fully implemented.  The new Web Player uses HTML5 technologies solely. Thanks for your continued feedback in the Idea Exchange!

It would be awesome - I cannot use spotify on firefox for now ... I do not have flash 😕

Cancelling my subscription until this is fixed, Flash is a dead technology and installing it puts all Spotify users as risk.

It's impossible to set the Spotify Web Player preference that tells it to open Spotify links in the app if you don't have Flash installed, so every time I click a Spotify link on the web, it opens in a player that doesn't work, instead of the desktop app I use constantly. Flash has a terrible security record and shouldn't be a part of any modern website.

Good God. I've had it. Honestly not coming back to Spotify until this is addressed

I think I will also stop my spotify membership. I cannot use it on my linux machines and flash is disabled in my company. The only way I can use spotify is through my cell phone ... probably not worth it.
