Spotify backup app, allowed under TOS?

I've been thinking of creating a web app to allow users to backup their music library. I read in the TOS that selling metadata is not allowed. I wondered if this applies to my idea. I would likely charge for a backup. Thanks!

The spotify web playback sdk needs new documentation for objects

The actual object that the SDK returns has more fields than the doc says, so it would be welcomed if they updated the docs. I'm still really happy with the SDK and hope they continue to support it.
