Let's face it, Flash is a dead technology. Is Spotify planing on offering HTML5 on their Web Player? It is kind of crucial for me as I'm using an operating system that doesn't have a native standalone Spotify application nor Flash plugins available. Nspluginwrapper is just insecure and hacky. I would love to have a HTML5 version.
Other technology leaders have made the switch:
Google/Youtube made HTML5 default in its exit Flash stragegy:

C'mon spotify, we all love you but now it's really time to stop make excuses. DRM can hardly be a reason. I'm logging in with MY account that I'm paying for every month. I am identified. I am identifiable. I am authenticated. Stream the content with modern technology like HTML5.
