We have just released a simpler yet more powerful version of Spotilinks.
Below are the main improvements for the home page :

• audioblogs and audioposts management (see this article)
• anonymous playlist :
  anonymous users can now share their Spotify playlists from a quick form on the home page. By essence, it is still necessary to create an account to get a personal board !
• embedded login form :
  a visible block on the homepage lets anonymous users login or register ; and lets logged in users reach their personal board.
• new “Recent items” columns :
  • recent playlists will appear in their related categories and moods
  • recent members are not displayed anymore as they are the less interesting for the community (as a new board is often empty…)
  • a “Search artist” block lets users quickly search for an artist. The artist and albums creation process is much more effective by now…
  • on the left, you can find the 30 last imported audioposts from our selection of audioblogs. A “(play)” link is added to the ones which have been completed with a Spotify URI…
• removal of the “Spotisearch” module :
  this was useful to generate Spotify search URIs, but was misleading for a great majority of users…

We hope those improvements on Spotilinks will help you make the most of Spotify :-)

Spotilinks now lets you discover and follow audioblogs that suit your musical tastes, providing a kind of simple RSS reader tool to discover music.
Basically, Spotilinks import the new posts of a selection of music blogs to let users enjoy audioposts.
On Spotilinks, an audiopost has two status :

• basic : a teaser (title, description extract and link) to have users reading the post on its original blog page
• complete : when a registered user adds a related Spotify URI (and a category, mood or artist) to the audiopost, it becomes possible to manage it as playlists and albums on Spotilinks (play in Spotify, select in your personal board, receive as a suggestion, subscribe to the audioblog…)

As an anonymous visitor, you can find audioposts, read them on their original blog and (if completed) play them in Spotify.

As a registered member, you can also :

• complete a basic audiopost with a Spotify URI (and – optionally - a related category, mood or key-artist to make it fully manageable)
• select an audiopost, within a family of your personal board, to store and play it while recommending it to the members who follow you
• subscribe to an audioblog, to find its 5 lasts audioposts permanently in your personal board

This service is also very cool for audiobloggers because :

• we respect their authoring work, as we only publish the post’s title and the beginning of its description (ie no full text, no image, no video…) and invite the visitor to read the post on its original blog…
• we bring them traffic, as audioposts are promoted on the home page, but also in the personal board of registered users (either by subscribing to the audioblog, or by subscribing to a category or mood to which audioposts can be related…)
• we increase the “user value” of their posts, providing a way to relate them to a Spotify URI (and then to launch, select and promote it from Spotilinks…)
• this service is, of course, totally free of charge :-)

If you are a user, please use this contact form to provide feedback.
If you are an audioblog writer, please use this contact form to ask for an add (or removal!) : we would be happy to consider adding your blog to our selection…

Spotilinks is now available for UK spotify users.

As illustrated in those videos, Spotilinks is the 1st social web application for Spotify.

Each member of the community can use his personal board to :

• receive automatically new playlists from the catagories, modds, artists and members he has "spoted" (same principle as RSS feeds...)
• selected playlist and albums, to store them with the playlists he has published and therefore manage all his music collection from one single web page !

Enjoy :-)
