Spotify Plans to Take on Netflix and HBO with Streaming Video Service

There's no technical reason a web app couldn't support it

There is- the media keys work no matter what application you're currently focused on. A webapp couldn't do that, unless Chrome extensions allow you to do something weird.

And a web version is far more convenient than a desktop one- you can just load it up anywhere. Spotify's desktop app has slowly got slower and more resource-hungry.

I just use the mobile app when I am away from my own computer.
