Yesterday, Spotify announced their new feature, the Play button. The Play button allows you embed a Spotify soundtrack within your website/blog. This means you and your visitors can enjoy the music while they browse your content. Using the Spotify Play button is super easy – follow the short tutorial to get started.

Step 1:

First up, we need to choose a song we’d like to show up on our website/blog. To do that, we open up our Spotify player, point to a song, right click and click Copy Spotify URI. If done right, should be something like this.

copy spotify uri

copy spotify uri

Step 2:

Visit the Spotify Developer Page to paste in your Spotify URI  and generate the unique embed code. You can do that by clicking the green button below.

Step 3:

Once you have pasted in the Spotify URI, click the Copy Embed Code button.

 Final Step:
Now that you have the embed code, you can copy it anywhere you want, on your HTML page or in your WordPress post editor. It will look something like this below. Note, you can customise the size and type by launching the customise embed options. We think size matters:)
