Sorry, I forgot about this thread.

I'm definitely willing to contribute to this, could we use HTTP or JSON
? Or did you have something else in mind when saying tcp/ip ?

It feels like the plugin part for play/pause/next/prev should be fairly
easy, it's probably possible to see if a DSBridge url is the current
track and only send the commands to your application if it's the
current track.

No problem, I'm running DSBridge in a Windows virtualbox virtual
machine together with Spotify at the moment.

Sounds really great.
