Or even loosely speaking for that matter. However it will work - it seems that there isn't a regular hyperlink address for just opening the app right now. That said, if you have the app you probably don't need a link from Mike to help you open it. If you need to click something try this : http://open.spotify.com/track/0yObCkgTOZYk1Kv7TVjCe6 Actually, that link I gave isn’t strictly speaking correct. Or even loosely speaking for that matter.

Best startup I've seen since Dropbox. Remember the day you read about these guys. I love Swedish people. The level of 'early adoption' in the general public is insane. Even considering they have a more compelling offering over there with exclusive releases it's impressive. I still maintain they qualify as a UK startup ;) Mike, the correct link would be ‘spotify:’ to open the app – other people in the meantime can click this http://open.spotify.com/spotify instead (doesn’t work with Opera yet).
