My Question or Issue

Hi @MarlaMM

Thanks for your question!

It sounds like you're interested in building an app that enables users to listen to Spotify Premium users' playlists. Could you share more details about how you envision this working?

Spotify already provides robust playlist sharing functionality, so any app you create would need to offer unique added functionality beyond what's already available.

If you're planning to use the Web Playback SDK, please note that playback is restricted to Spotify Premium users. For mobile apps using the Android or iOS SDKs, Spotify Free users are limited to shuffle mode.

I hope this clarifies things! Let me know if you have additional details or questions—I'd be happy to assist further.

Cheers!
