Spotify

Spotify is a music service similar to Pandora, which allows you to listed to the song you want to hear, when you want to hear it.

You can embed a high-quality version of a song in your blog using Spotify’s OEmbed feature, which just involves pasting a simple URL. However, unlike the OEmbed that works with YouTube, the URL isn’t the one visible at the top of the screen when you navigate to the song you want.
