Title: Spotify Play Button functionality?

Do you have any specific suggestions on what you need or you would just like the ability to link to a song and have it lazy-load? * Thread Starter [egar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egar/) * (@egar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328199) * Hi, * Awesome! * Yes, that is what I am looking for, the most basic functionality. The Spotify Play Button, is handy for us music bloggers but it does add a lot to the page load if there’s several buttons on one page. * It would be great if I could use the Spotify function manually, so that I don’t have to use all social bookmark functions. * Plugin Author [Tom Morton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tm3909/) * (@tm3909) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328236) * Two questions while I am implementing this feature: * 1. Would this be on a per post basis? For example, if you are writing a blog post on a great new song, would you need a meta box that asks you for a link to spotify? That way the individual song would appear with that blog post(or custom post type)? * 2. Would this be better served as a different plugin? It seems to me that you don’t really want any of the other social features of WPsocialite, just the lazy loading feature for spotify, is that correct? * If number two is correct I may just wrap a new plugin all together. That helps you to make sure the plugin does only what you want, and it doesn’t bloat the WPSocialite codebase. * Appreciate your feedback! * Thread Starter [egar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egar/) * (@egar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328240) * Hi Tom, * Yes it would be on blog post basis. I don’t know if a meta box or shortcode would be better. I think shortcode, because that makes it easier to place the Play Button exactly where I want it to be. * Maybe the functionality would be that all one needs to do is to write [socialspot =SpotifyURI] in a post to render the Play Button. * At the moment I don’t use the other social features so that is the main reason. Might be best to separate the plugins so that it doesn’t get bloated as you say. * Thank you for taking your time! * Plugin Author [Tom Morton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tm3909/) * (@tm3909) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328249) * Egar, * I’ll get working on a solution. Hang tight! I’ll try to have something no later than the end of the week. * Plugin Author [Tom Morton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tm3909/) * (@tm3909) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328279) * Egar, * I’m coming close to a finished product. A few questions for you: * Would you like to specify the spotify URL in a meta box or within the shortcode, along these lines: * [spotify_lazy url=”[http://open.spotify.com/track/7LImTa7vwDT3dDFBzq5wfw”%5D](http://open.spotify.com/track/7LImTa7vwDT3dDFBzq5wfw”%5D) * Do you have multiple tracks within the same post, or one track associated to one post? * Do you have a need for playlists or just songs for now? * Thanks for the feedback. * Thread Starter [egar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/egar/) * (@egar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328280) * Hi Tom, * That sounds great! * I would prefer using a shortcode so that I can place it where ever I want inside the post. * I usually use only one track in each post. At this time I only have a need for songs. * Tell me if you need any help with testing! * Cheers, Jarno * Plugin Author [Tom Morton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tm3909/) * (@tm3909) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spotify-play-button-functionality/#post-3328317) * Jarno, * The spotify plugin is here!
