The music button will open whatever program is associated with the .cda extension.

create a new file with a .cda extension and make spotify(or any program u want) the default program to open it

The actual rule is this: The music button will open whatever program is associated with the .cda extension.
Using this you can force ANY program to open with that button, you simply need to associate it with the .cda extension.
