I think Tivo would have to be a free service to comply with Spotifys "Non Commercial Use" api rules

no, shouldn't be a problem... you pay for your broadband don't you? That gives you access to Spotify, The App itself would be free to access for TiVo users.

VM would have to do a deal with Spotify of course!

Would seem a bit curious offering an audio streaming service on a pvr especially given existing music videos available on VoD. Stranger things have happened I guess.

Wouldn't be the first time Spotify have done it http://www.spotify.com/int/blog/arch...6/10/telia-tv/

And of course there was Music Choice on Sky which was along similar lines.
