Queries Regarding GSoC 2012 Project : Spotify Collection

[vikash anand]

Hello Teo,
Thank you so much for your help and bringing into my notice that, we need
to have an spotify account for this project. Since, I am based in India
where spotify has not yet been launched, I think its not possible for me to
work on this project :(

Anyways, i have gone through another project i.e Tomahawk features in
amarok<http://community.kde.org/GSoC/2012/Ideas#Project:_Tomahawk_features_in_Amarok>
.
I will be glad if you could tell me how to go about this project and the
prerequisites for the project.
