Enjoy it while you can. I don't see this being up for very long since this type of app is expressly forbidden in Spotify's Developer Terms of Use[1]:

- Kudos 12y agoYou can add Beats Music[0] to that list: > you SHALL NOT [...] locally store, cache, and/or aggregate any data, including audio content, obtained through the Beats Music APIs. I was worried about how my new side project[1] might be viewed to breach these terms, but these guys are taking the piss. Is it a case of why ask for permission when you can ask for forgiveness? Is that how it got past the Y Combinator people? [0]: https://developer.beatsmusic.com/tos https://developer.beatsmusic.com/tos [1]: https://match.audio https://match.audio
- jaytong 12y agoSharp point. If the only relationship we had with Spotify was the one dictated by their public API TOS, then yes, we wouldn't be in accord. However, thankfully we have agreements and relationships in place with all the music services that enable us to do what we do. This is because we serve as a marketing channel for the music services, helping them acquire new subscribers in ways they can't do easily themselves. EDIT: Applies to all of our partnered music services.
