Possible to embed Spotify links?

Howdy, I've got another question for you guys. Is it possible to embed Spotify music links in Vanilla? I know there's a plugin with SoundCloud support out there, so maybe that could be modified?

EDIT: Found some relevant information on the official Spotify website, if it helps.

    Seems like it would be a straight forward module or addition to your default.master.tpl file

    Well, I'm not a coder so I'm not quite sure where to begin. Could you give me some more guidance?

    Are you looking to change the song often?

    If not, you could just copy the embed code on the site you linked and paste it into your /themes/TheThemeYouUse/views/default.master.tpl right after {asset name="Panel"}.

    Sorry, it looks like I was a bit unclear in my post. I don't want to add a specific song to the sidebar (or anywhere else), I'm looking for an auto-embed solution whenever people post Spotify links. Much like how YouTube links currently work in 2.1.

    have a look at js/global.js, my js knowledge isn't too advanced ; but I'm sure someone could find a fix for you

    Tip Search for youtube in that file

    I can add Spotify support in my OEmbed plugin - the author of the jQuery plugin that powers my plugin has recently released a patch adding support for Spotify embeds (https://github.com/starfishmod/jquery-oembed-all/commit/b947242174415a30d83f826363ed4c413ae4c3a9)

    Is OEmbed compatible with 2.1b1?

    EDIT: Awesome, that was quick! Thank you so much.

    It works for single tracks, but not playlists. Any way to fix this? See screenshot below (playlist link vs single track):
