After reviewing this idea again, we will be closing it. The reason for this is that quite some time has passed since its submission and a lot has changed since then. For one thing, we now offer an Xbox app.

With Windows 10 coming in a few months and offering a unified operating system across all devices, I think that it is time more than ever to consider developing a Universal app.
I understand that the Win32 app will need to be maintaned for previous versions of Windows, but consider the marketshare. All Windows 7 and 8.x (non-business) users will receive a free upgrade to Windows 10. One universal Spotify application for PCs, Phones and Xbox will probably be the best! 🙂
I'm a reasonably new subscriber... Joined in Dec. But as a Windows user (PC, Phone, Xbox One and Surface RT) I gotta wonder about Spotifys efforts in supporting the Windows platform. Kudo's for the recent WP app update being the exception. I want a quality experience for my subscription on all my devices. Windows 10 universal app model is Spotify's way to deliver.... Get on it! We don't want another 2 years worth of bitching, moaning, pleading... and dammit! ..alright... outright begging.
Spotify on Desktop is a great app but I feel like the UI could be a little refined : there is too much things on the current desktop version. Maybe a Windows 10 universal app could be more similar to Spotify for iPad. It would be great and likely to be used by millon of Windows Users across all their devices (with Windows 10 of course).
I really hope that there will be a universal app. Otherwise I'll have to grab the integrated music service, which is already running much better under Windows 10 than under WP 8.1.
The desktop app right now is perfect, but the smartphone Apps are somehow slow, especially on Windows Phone.
