Good. Spreading the word would certainly help.
There have been another response from Spotify:

If I'm understanding this issue correctly, the problem is that since JRiver is commercial product, they need a special license from Spotify to create the integration. Correct?
JRiver MC allows for 3rd party plugins. If someone were to develop a free plugin for MC that accomplished the Spotify integration, would that be ok according the Spotify SDK terms and conditions?

Yes, but JRiver would have to provide further SDKs to enable full integration. In its current state, a truly rich, deep integration would only be possible if the feature were developed by JRiver themselves.
Do JRiver have some numbers you could share in this getsatisfaction.com thread? I'm thinking of an estimate of potential users, how many total audio centric users MC have and so on. If we had a solid number to give them, even if it's a round estimate, they might they might look more favorably upon this idea. I think the best angle here to try to get their approval of using Spotify in MC17. Their SDK is quite good I think, and JRiver might be able to implement this without to THAT much of an effort. At least if you focus on for example Theater View first. It's an idea at least.
