Spotify announced yesterday the introduction of their own global play button that lets you embed your own Spotify playlist on your site.
It is incredibly easy to use. All you need is your Spotify playlist url, right click a track, playlist, or album within Spotify, choose HTML Link, then paste the link into Spotify's developer website and it generates the html for an iframe for you to copy and paste into your site. There are also options to customise how it appears.
The drawbacks are that it is not immediately apparent that the user will need to have a spotify account to play it and the music does not play through the browser, but from the Spotify application itself and people used to flash players will no doubt get a little confused.
However I'm convinced and imagine it will be seen on a large number of sites.
And I am currently listening to the Maccabees
