Is it possible to get the play count of a song (for the current user)? I only found Toplist and the Track class, but neither tells me how often a user listened to a song.

@Thomas, there is already a tag for Spotify. Why did you add a new one to over twenty questions? – Charles Jan 08 '14 at 01:08

1@Charles his comment to the edit was "Introducing new tag for spotify apps, to distinguish from other spotify apis" – TomTasche Jan 08 '14 at 08:08

1@Charles, seemed appropriate, considering the existence of the libspotify and cocoalibspotify2.0 tags – Thomas Jan 08 '14 at 16:46

@Thomas, those tags are for specific libraries that implement the API. Regardless, I now see what you're talking about -- there's a *new* Spotify API for "apps." The tag wiki is confusing, and I'll be submitting a correction... – Charles Jan 08 '14 at 18:20

As far as I know there is no way to retrieve that data at the moment.

This is not possible through the Spotify API right now. The Last.fm API does offer information similar to this, as a potential work-around.

Marked as not right now on the Spotify support site.

However, this article from 538 a journalist got a look at Nestify where that information is available.
I would assume that the information would eventually be made available via the API.
