Spotify has just launched libspotify, Spotify’s first API, that’ll let developers pump out third party apps. The best music streaming service on the web just got better: read on for all the details.

We told you yesterday how Spotify planned to open up its API for third party apps, and now it’s official. Spotify has launched libspotify, its first API, so you’ll be able to come up with Spotify apps for anything from mobiles to TVs.

There’s a catch to libspotify however. You’ll only be able to access it, and any applications built with libspotify, if you’re a Spotify Premium user. Sad news if you were hoping to carry on getting all that music streaming goodness for free, but a no doubt wise given how expensive music licenses can be.

Anyone interested in libspotify can head over to Spotify’s website now for more details, and we’ll be back with more as soon as the first libspotify apps start coming through.
