Non-streaming SDA

 

I am trying to determine if my application would be allowed under Section III.5 of the Spotify Developer Policy. The terms explicitly disallow integrating a product that uses Spotify for Developers with content from other services. Does Spotify intend for "content" in this case to include data like song names, which are not tied to any single service but rather to the song itself, even if the song name is retrieved from another service? Example: An application pulls a song title from a non-Spotify service and searches for it using the Spotify Web API. The user would not see the song name (which at this point is non-Spotify data) unless it was found on Spotify. Even then, only the Spotify-sourced data (song name) would be displayed to the user.
