Hello Teo, Thank you so much for your help and bringing into my notice that, we need to have an spotify account for this project. Since, I am based in India where spotify has not yet been launched, I think its not possible for me to work on this project :(
Anyways, i have gone through another project i.e Tomahawk features in amarok<http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2012/Ideas#Project:_Tomahawk_features_in_Amarok> . I will be glad if you could tell me how to go about this project and the prerequisites for the project.
