Spotify URI and NFC - can they work together?

[edent]

I want to use an NFC tag to open Spotify for Android to a specific album.

If I use the URI spotify:album:6QaVfG1pHYl1z15ZxkvVDW then Spotify immediately opens on the homepage. It does not open the specific album.

If I use: https://open.spotify.com/album/6QaVfG1pHYl1z15ZxkvVDW It opens via the browser. That's not what I want. I want to open the app directly.

If I use an Android intent com.spotify.music it opens the app to the start page.

I've tried using spotify://album/6QaVfG1pHYl1z15ZxkvVDW but the problem persists.

Is there a way to use an NFC tag to open the Spotify App directly to an album?

Hi edent! 

I recently had the same problem and was very dissatisfied with the solutions. Opening the browser is somewhat of a useless and annoying step. 

To circumvent the bug in Spotify, I wrote a very simple application which fixes the bug. During testing, I found out that you can successfully open the playlist in Spotify when starting the Spotify app using an Android Intent. I used this to create the app. 

When you're interested in the app, you can take a look at the instructions here. Feel free to write me, if you encounter any problems.

Thank you so much!! I was going crazy for an hour now thinking it was me who was setting it wrong, you're a life saver!
