If I'v understood correctly, you want a widget to contol Spotify from the homescreens?
Spotify has its own widget. It's installed automatically when you install Spotify.
Are you using the new beta version of the Spotify App that supports ICS? If so, could you please give a feedback? I would like to use Spotify, but I refuse to pay for a service that is only in beta right now...

It's excellent, but still doesn't have playlist folders.
You can download it here.
It includes "extreme" quality streaming/saving (for offline access). It's much neater to use. It's now just as good (albeit quite simple) as an ordinary music player on Android.
Get a trial and see if you like it?
Also, relevant to this thread, it doesn't seem to have come with a widget!

Well, I have been using Spotify Premium on my Symbian device. I cancelled my subscription because I read about the incompatibility with ICS. But this seems to be fixed now, so I will consider subscribing once again.
Thx for your answer!

The new ics version of spotify works with the lockscreen widget, only just noticed, which makes me think its only just started working.

How do you get it to show as a lockscreen widget? Use Spotify a lot but not noticed this.
Have you installed the ics version, its only available from the spotify blog, not the play store. I didn't enable anything it just started working, though I am convinced it didn't work right off the bat.

Have got the Beta App installed now... Looks much cleaner than the previous version and its now working on the lock screen which is brilliant. I see it doesn't currently have Last.FM in the settings now thoughWill try doing that... Thanks
Thanks. I completely missed this release. I've been using normal spotify on the one x without any problems though (aside from occasional sound glitches when beats was turned on). Hopefully they have finally added landscape mode..
can't get the lock screen widget to work with the spotify ICS beta..
tried opening stock music app first and selecting spotify as suggested above but that did not work either..
is there a generic way of enabling the music widget on the lock screen that i am missing ?
