Spotify have just introduced a brand new handy addition called the ‘play’ button available to use on blogs and websites to make sharing music legal and cool. All you need is a Spotify account, Internet connection and a web browser.

A few partners have already been introduced including Tumblr, The Huffington Post, Time Out and the Guardian.

This is what Chief Product Officer, Gustav Söderström had to say about it:

Today we're giving every blogger and web editor the ability to light up the internet with music. Adding a personalised soundtrack to your website or blog has never been this easy. You want to give your fans access to any song, album or playlist of your choosing and in its entirety, while ensuring people stay glued to your site. The Spotify Play Button does all of this for free, while making sure artists get paid for every play."

This shows the company’s crack down on the musical pirates. However, those with a free account be on the lookout before you run out of minutes.
