Hello! I would like to have support for Spotify in Amarok. I think that would be really awesome. 

This is from the Spotify page:
This is a preview build of Spotify for Linux. As a preview release this version is still unsupported, but we’re running it ourselves and will try to make sure it keeps pace with its Mac and Windows siblings, there are issues regarding decoding of local music on the Linux platform so we haven’t included support for local files in this version. As we haven’t found a reliable way to display ads yet, this version is only available to Spotify Premium and Unlimited subscribers.

packages for Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 10.04 package and for Fedora 13, i386 and x86_64.
Debian

# 1. Add this line to your list of repositories by 
#    editing your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

# 2. Run apt-get update
# 3. (optional) If you want to verify the downloaded packages,
#    you will need to add our public key

gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E
gpg --export 4E9CFF4E |sudo apt-key add -

# 4. Run apt-get install spotify-client-qt spotify-client-gnome-support


Reproducible: Didn't try

AFAICS Spotify is a standalone client, and there is no API. Leo?

There is an open source of Spotify:

An implementation on XBMC:
