Very nice looking, well done! As you have endless scrolling on the playlists, I would suggest having an element follow you on the left (Possibly the submit Playlist) - You'll have to try it to find out, but I feel it may give the site a "fuller" feel when scrolling down, rather than having an empty space.
Awesome: clean, easy to use and navigate and a great collection of music. I wil spread the word and hats off! Only feedback, would be nice if the genre list followed you as you scroll further down the list of playlists.
I do not have spotify but the site looks nice. Also, i need to know what is in the "Coding Soundtrack like a boss" playlist. Isn't there a way to see the content even if not logged in?
Unfortunately no, hehe. But http://spotify.com is free, if you want to sign up. I highly recommend it. I tried it twice when it was new and just deleted it. Third time I tried it i realized the vast amazingness of spotify. Since then I have erased all my music and moved it to spotify.
Actually, you can use libspotify to extract the contents of playlists, which allows for a richer experience on a playlist site like this.
I still need my developer token.. which I don't have yet (I applied. Waiting on approval). I'm also going to show number of subscribers, and number of tracks.
It seems there is no spotify for linxus :(

Thanks it worked.
Just a question: what platform is this built on, and did you use any external library for infinite scrolling?
rails, css from scratch, infinite scroll from scratch :)
I would definitely recommend changing the Favicon from Spotify's logo.
Sure. Also, this is a very common question (about the domain name and copyright). Spotify seems to promote sites with their exact logo and company name, as long as I put the disclaimer in the footer that I'm not related to their site. In fact they have a page right on spotify.com promoting a lot of other spotify___.com playlist websites.
I also contacted about getting a developer token and they didn't seem to have a problem with my domain.

I love spotify, but I don't like how a lot of the playlists sites are rubbish: very cluttered, requiring users to sign up, hard to navigate, etc.
I have created http://spotify.io as my solution. There's no signup required, just one-click and you are discovering new music.
You can vote on playlists, as well as submit your own playlists. Give it a go :)
