For anyone who uses Spotify - get this! You'll see what a mean. Can't understand how I could have survived without this. En elogé to you dear developer for offering us all this little application for free. 5 out out 5. Without a doubt.

Absolutely required. I cannot believe a plugin is required for these functions. GREAT WORK!

Just what spotifiy needs... Why don't they implement this in the main client :/

I love this!!! It makes it so much easier to change music etc. But when you change the volume, it changes the computer volume, and not spotifys :(

Great app! Shame that you have to have a premium account to get an API key otherwise there would be more apps for Spotify around. Just one quick note - "nothings playing" should be "nothing's playing" or even just "nothing playing." Thanks again - sorry to complain about such a minor thing.

I've started a group on Facebook to get out the word on the net. If you've got an account, please join and invite your friends. I didn't find any similar group made by you, but if you actually made one, I will delete mine, join yours and invite my friends.

Wonderful!!! I'm surprised this havn't been implemented by default in Spotify which otherwise is one of the best implementations I've used. I'd love the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+O to open a small search dialog to search, queue and select tunes. The search reult could be displayed in spotify or in a small simple list that could be navigated directly with the keyboard (arrows and enter).

WOW!!! This is exactly what I want. However, an option to turn of the shortcut key would be nice, seeing that some of the applications I'm using also have those keys registered.
