What specifically is required?

They would have to broadcast what music is playing whenever it starts and
stops. This
is what the default music player, and all the other supported players, does.
To see just how the default music player does, look at the source (for instance
here:
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/cupcake/packages/apps/Music/src/com/andro
id/music/MediaPlaybackService.java
, especially the notifyChange() method).
They could also implement the API specific for SLS:
http://code.google.com/p/a-simple-lastfm-scrobbler/wiki/Developers , but
probably
they'd want to send their own types of messages. SLS could easily support that.
It would be a very simple procedure to add scrobbling support in Spotify. It
took me
just about two hours to do the same for RockOn (I also added an option to set
whether
you want to scrobble att all, from its preferences screen). The code can be
found
here:

nnggl/RockOnNextGenService.java
