My Question or Issue

I am building a Discord Bot Application for different function, one of which is Playing Music. I want to know if it is against Spotify TOS to allow users to search for songs/artists/albums to find a song to listen to via the bot. The bot has the ability to play music but I prefer the Spotify source to fetch the song data for the users to play and listen to. I saw in the terms that the app should not allow *several* users to listen at the same time but I'm not sure how many users would be considered "several". I was thinking about limiting the amount of users in a single Voice Channel to listen to the music.

Several means "more than one".

Your response doesn't completely answer my questions.

It's not allowed to stream music from Spotify though a bot or Discord voice channel.
