Today,Spotify announcedthe launch of itslibspotify9 API for iOS, which allows third party developers to write iOS applications that utilize Spotify’s music streaming service. Spotify hopes this will enable and inspire developers to build some really cool stuff on top of its epic 15 million track collection. And by really cool stuff, we’re hoping for an iPad app!
It’s important to note that Spotify will only let developers use libspotify for non-commercial use so you can’t sell any software or devices based on these APIs.
