not yet, but exploring it now... I gather it would require everyone to tag songs for inclusion?

If not, there would need to be some kind of smart script that could parse through a thread and try to extract Artist/Track text. This sounds like a job for Google or something. I like the idea of creating a tag/format for rolling music threads, though!

You'd just have to copy/paste "Artist - Track" lines from the thread into a big file - obviously some manual work but maybe less than searching Spotify for each and every one.
Beyond that, yes you could write a script to extract these lines from a thread, could get as fancy as you'd like really.

well, as the guy who just did this, I can tell you that people regularly misspell the names of the tracks or the artists and spotify often mislabels them. I had to do a great deal of digging to find quite a lot of this. I don't think it's unrealistic to say that automating the process might lose as much as 30% of what I found with a little intuition and boolean skill.
