My Question or Issue

When I copy a link to a song I want the the player to start playing the song without having to do a second click on the play button.

I was hoping appending a "?play" to the url would do this - but it seems like that information is either wrong or just outdated.

Is this possible?

It's ?go=1

That would be nice - but that's not working for me either.

That's weird, because it work in this example at Stack Overflow.

Interesting.
That doesn't work for me neither. Not in Brave and not in Safari.

It will only work when a link opens a Spotify app directly.

It opens the web app and I am logged in.
You are saying it has to be the native app? That's odd.

Yes, and I just checked: ?play=1 would normally also work.

I guess that turns this into a feature request for the web interface then.
Uff. Bummer.

Thanks for checking on your side.
