## Description

App for Spotify™ is a lightweight and user-friendly Chrome extension that lets you play Spotify music directly from your desktop (PC, Mac, or Linux). It opens Spotify's music player in a standalone, resizable window that can stay always on top, enabling efficient multitasking without interrupting your workflow. Once closed, the app stops all background activities, ensuring minimal resource usage and no extra load on your browser.

Designed as an unofficial wrapper around the Spotify web player, this app requires a Spotify account and Flash plugin for full functionality. Featuring a simple toolbar with quick-access buttons, it aims to deliver an accessible and convenient music experience. Note that it is independently developed and not affiliated with Spotify.
