This makes me wonder… would Spotify allow ads in music? Can I upload a music track that has an ad in the middle? Hmm…

  I don't have Spotify, but check if The Who Sell Out is there since that has ads in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out

    Pretty sure they used fake ads, but it’s a good precedent anyway. Edit: and yes the album is available on Spotify in full.

      The whole album was supposed to be a play on a pirate radio station if memory serves, and a damn good one at that. Probably my favorite Who album honestly (besides Live at Leeds, of course).

        Uhhhh I'd have to take Quadraphenia in any best Who album list...I think I've bought it at least 6 times in like 4 formats and I can still listen to it end-to-end without effort.

      > Pretty sure they used fake ads, but it’s a good precedent anyway. the ads aren't fake.. well, not all of them -- they're included ironically -- and many aspects of that album generated legal issues for the band.[0] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_Sell_Out

  Yes. See also: about half of the rap tracks on the platform, where every third line is product placement.
