Team Speak 3 Musikbot with Spotify

[alfdef]

I am the owner of an non comercial team speak 3 Server, and the users want to have a music channel, so i created an musikbot and now i have a question.

Can i stream music from an spotify playlist with this bot  24/7 or is it forbitten to do that ?

According to the Terms & Conditions, Spotify is for "personal, non-commercial ...  use" and "making available to the public any part of the Spotify Services or content delivered to you via the Spotify Services" is not permitted.

I don't earn money from that server and i think it's like you are on a party and playing music to your firends via spotify.

Isn't it like that ?

I don't think it's the same but, for an official answer, use the online contact form and someone at Spotify will get back to you. If you get an automated reply directing you back to the community or to the help pages, make sure to reply to it directly (even though it says not to) to speed things along.

I would have to agree with @Joe here, you are technically broadcasting Spotify content to people who don't pay for it, which in my eyes is in breach of the terms and conditions. Having people listen at a party is a bit different since you are the one playing the music - not distributing it digitally.

Thread necro. I don't agree. If it's my bot and it leaves the channel when I do, and I'm the only one who can play a song, and they listen, but they do not actualy receive anything (no access to digital files), then you are simply using the  musicbot like a radio in a channel. I am the only one with access, and if someoen wants to hear something they must ask me. I pay for it. When I leave, it leaves with me. In no way am I sharing anything that these peopel couldn't get on a free copy of spotify.
