Implementing this looks like it would be a fun project: https://github.com/JMPerez/spotify-web-api-js

You'd still need the Spotify desktop client open (Winamp2-js would function as a remote), but you could do things like populating the playlist window with a user playlist.

Unfortunately, you can never fully work. DRM means we can’t get raw access to the audio stream so EQ, visualization, balance, (for example) won’t work.

You can use a virtual audio cable. Spotify -> virtual cable -> winamp -> real audio out

Can you recommend a "virtual cable" javascript library that is compatible with DRM output? I can't seem to find anything.

Pretty sure you can get it for visualization...

If you have an example, send it my way! I believe the Analyser node cannot get output from a tainted source.
