What is a streaming SDA?

My Question or Issue

I am trying to understand what a streaming SDA is and therefore, what a non-streaming SDA is.

 

Who can point me to somewhere that I can read more specifially where the difference is?

 

Thank you.

Hey @alsc, thanks for posting your question here!

You can read more about SDAs (Spotify Developer Applications) in the Spotify Developer Terms of Service. (Section II-9, 11 and 12). Let me know if you have any questions about this!

 

Have a great day,

Thank you. To understand completely.

 

Streaming is if I let users play a full song while non-streaming is either audio preview clip or no music at all?

 

Is that correct?

 

Additionally, does that mean that I do not need a written approval for commercialization if I only use audio preview clip in a service?

Hey there,

 

I’m afraid I cannot give you an official and binding interpretation of these Terms and Conditions. 

 

Personally, I think you’re right as the terms state audio preview clips are not included for “Streaming”. 

 

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you!

 

Have a good one,

Hubo

Hi, I am curious if you ended up successfully monetizing the app without any restrictions?

Not yet, no. It stayed a hobby project.

the iOS SDK is a remote, its technically not streaming. is this considered a non streaming application SDA?
