Spotify - Playlist Not Found

[SiD the Turtle]

Hi guys,

I've been putting together some playlists on Spotify and putting the HTTP links to these up on my website. Only the HTTP link opens Spotify and reports 'playlist not found'. If you copy the spotify link on the web page into Spotify it works. Am I missing something? An example:

My web page: http://www.sidtheturtle.co.uk/2009/03/01/grand-theft-auto-iv-spotify-playlists-liberty-rock-radio/

The HTTP url on the page, copied from Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/user/sidtheturtle/playlist/2YgFQUuQdgkqGWUwbp3aUW (if you try this, you get a playlist not found error)

The Spotify URL on that page: spotify:user:sidtheturtlelaylist:2YgFQUuQdgkqGWUwbp3aUW (copy this into Spotify and it works).

The HTTP link worked for me...I got a GTA IV playlist, which looking at your first link seems about right.

Edit - just for completion's sake, I'm using Firefox 3.07 and Spotify 0.3.11

Hmm thanks for that, I've tried from two other accounts other people in my house have and they both have the same problem, across different browsers.

I'll have to try from another location methinks, but if anyone else can give the link a shot it'd be appreciated.

Edit: more fiddling suggests that if Spotify is closed when you click the link, it gives you a playlist not found error, but if it's already open, it works.
