Motivation edit

Spotify is (manually) increasing the amount of structured data in its own database, which is probably a good thing for Wikidata. This set of data is currently in beta. Unfortunately it's not particularly accessible at the moment, since writing credits aren't linked from the Spotify website, but it's still possible to find them through search engines and probably other methods (there might be API access, for instance).
