I was hoping this was all thru their web site and not a client install. I no longer install apps onto my system as chat/voice available via gmail, lastfm/pandora(others) for music, hulu/joost for tv and play games various sites. This is just my personal preference and I hope this spotify offers a web based solution. Id download a FF plug-in.

What's the difference between installing software and installing a firefox plugin?

  Generally, i'm less weary about installing a plugin because I know there are certain limits to things that plugins can do compared to what an application can do to my System. On windows, things you install also puts crap into your registry and many leave a lasting trace on your computers and slows it down over time. This happens to a lesser extent with browser plugins. Generally, with a plugin, when you turn off your browser , the application cease to exist and take up system resources. Many applications however, continue to run in the background. I use the "Generally" to describe these scenarios because there are definitely exceptions to the norms, but its how I perceive plugins vs downloaded apps.
