I am producing a Podcast (entirely pro-bono) that includes interviews and occasional music. Can I use music obtained from Spotify?

Hey there,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community. 

We understand your desire to use music from Spotify in your Podcast, but as laid out in our Terms and Conditions, Spotify is only for personal, non-commercial use.
 

In addition, we want to make sure creators use the appropriate channels to share their content with our users. Spotify for Podcasters should not be used to distribute music tracks, DJ mixes, or similar musical content.  More info can be found in this support article. 

If you'd like to play in a commercial environment, check out our friends at Soundtrack Your Brand.

Hope this clears things up. If you have any questions or need anything else, the Community is here for you.
