My friends and I occasionally play "the spotify game" at bbqs. We pick two songs that we imagine are really really far apart. We play one on spotify, and then take turns to click on the "similar artists" tab to move closer and closer to the destination song. The winner is the player to play the destination song. The Art is to move closer to the target but not so close that the other player(s) can reach the destination... I'm sure with the Spotify API someone could wrap this up in a killer game :)

That's an amazing idea! Wish I had the spare time to dedicate to it D:

For sure, although you can't use the free API for making games unfortunately: https://developer.spotify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/answers-to-common-questions-about-our-terms-of-use-for-developer-tools.pdf https://developer.spotify.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/ans... I've been curious how difficult or burdensome getting permission for a game would be.

  Lame! You could use last.fm, maybe? I think there are a few providers that have this kind of info.
