Ask Siri to Play Artists on Spotify, No Jailbreak Required

iPhone: Siri is great for controlling your iPhone when you can't look down at your phone (like when you're driving), but it doesn't integrate with third-party apps very well. Blogger and developer Paul Lamere figured out a clever workaround that makes controlling Spotify with Siri a little easier.

First off, you won't get complete control over Spotify with this workaround, but it does make it so you don't have to look down at the screen and peck out letters when you're driving. Here's what to do:

1. Tell Siri to send a text message to (603) 821-4328 (you can enter this number in your phone as something like "Spotify" to make it easier).
2. Say the artist name (and nothing else) and send that text message.
3. Wait a couple seconds and you'll get a text message with a link to open the artist in Spotify.

It's obviously not a perfect solution, but it makes it so you're only looking and tapping on your iPhone once instead of several times. If you want to integrate it with your own number, the source code is on GitHub. Of course, if you're jailbroken you can integrate Spotify directly into Siri with a tweak like AssistantEnhancer.
