As announced via official WP News, WordPress 3.6 Beta 3 is now ready for your tests: Beta 3 contains about a hundred changes, including improvements to the image Post Format flow (yay, drag-and-drop image upload!), a more polished revision comparison screen, and a more quote-like quote format for Twenty Thirteen. As we had shared previously, this update includes the neat new audio oEmbeds via Rdio and Spotify.
It looks like the power of Twitter has created direct value in the upcoming release of WordPress 3.6! Yesterday we shared how Andrew Nacin politely challenged Spotify to create an oEmbed option for their media for the upcoming release of 3.6. Well, it seems that Nicklas Söderlind of Spotify added it right quick: @nacin @Spotify @WordPress Here you go, https://t.co/AYz6s8NpsP — Nicklas Söderlind (@nicklas2k) May 2, 2013 Sweet! It’s accessible right here if you want to see the code.
Andrew Nacin shared publicly last night the fact that Rdio support will be in 3.6 via oEmbed: Yes, @Rdio oEmbed support will come in WordPress 3.6. See http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24242 . The issue is @Spotify does not offer an oEmbed endpoint. He also directly pinged Spotify with a request: Yo @spotify, if you add an http://oembed.com endpoint (mad easy) for the Play Button, it’ll be included in the next @WordPress release. I’m not a user of either Rdio or Spotify (am I missing out on something or what?) but from the responses it would seem that many of you are.
