When listening to music on iTunes on my MacBook Air running OS 10.9, I am able to double-click the center headphone button to change track.
I am wondering if it is possible to replicate this behavior to when I am listening to music in e. g. Spotify.

You can do this with ControllerMate:
And a little little AppleScript (each line for each function):
tell application "Spotify" to playpause
tell application "Spotify" to next track
tell application "Spotify" to previous track
If you open QuickTime Player it will silently ignore the play/pause button and prevent iTunes from being opened, if you don't iTunes will still try to play something. Another solution to prevent iTunes from starting is to disable the 'Remote Control Daemon', how to do this is explained in detail on superuser.
Not possible.I have non-Apple earphones with a mini remote with three buttons - the central one being the one to be double-pressed. I have turned the Internet upside down and haven't found anything close to this, even on jailbreak (my ipod touch is jailbroken).

It works as expected in Spotify v1.0.65.320 for all interested.
