(Released in Danish, 2012 April 4th)
(Unfortunately Spotify stopped supporting 3rd-party apps years ago, although some of them was really good and useful. Sadly the (full) functionality of the apps haven't been adopted by Spotify. Some stuff is still useful in other ways. Read on below the video of a piece of music featured in the original article; music I discovered with one of the apps, Diggster's section on popmusic featured on Roskilde Festival that year... Adrian Lux: Teenage Crime)
The new apps (well, they were new in 2012, descriptions are edited to suit the present):
Classify:
You really could search and choose better than ever in classical music... composers, instruments, eras, moods, categories and "recommended".

Not only music, but full album art, zoomable, flipable etc.

Filtr:
Was a great app for making playlists, where you select style, mood, instrument, artist and / or intensity from start to end of the playlist. The app is gone, but Filtr offers a homepage where you can do something similar, and then save the playlist on Spotify... Link below
