Clarification on Spotify Metadata Guidelines for Embedded Preview Widgets

Hello,

I’m using Spotify Audio Preview Clips (30 seconds long) in my app and have a question about design guidelines. Is it necessary to display separate artwork, song title, and artist name near the embedded link?

In the attachment, you can see the widget I’m referring to. Since the widget already includes artwork, the song title, and the artist's name, would it still be required to have separate artwork to comply with the design guidelines?

I’m referring to this guideline: "Using Spotify metadata – If you use any Spotify metadata (including artist, album, and track names, album artwork, and audio playback), it must always link back to the Spotify Service."

Does this mean that embedded preview links on a website are also considered audio playback under this rule, requiring me to add additional artwork, track titles, and artist names below or close to the widget?

Thank you

Hi @Dev_New1

Thank you for posting in the Spotify Community!

Since Embeds already meet the guidelines, you do not need to add the things you mentioned alongside to them.

I hope this clarifies things. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
