What happened to Spotify for business?
Spotify for Business is no longer available. SoundMachine is a commercial alternative, offering a modern solution for streaming music in commercial spaces. With built-in licensing, flexible scheduling, and curated content, SoundMachine provides everything most businesses need to manage music legally and professionally, including licensing from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GMR in the US, and robust music management tools.
Can I use my personal Spotify account to play music in my business?
The short answer is: no, you cannot legally use a personal Spotify or standard Spotify Premium account to play music in a commercial setting.
Spotify’s consumer subscriptions are intended for private use only. They do not include the public performance rights necessary for legally playing music in customer-facing environments like cafés, shops, offices, salons, or restaurants.
Although the original Spotify for Business account is no longer available, there is a fully legal alternative. SoundMachine offers commercial music streaming that lets you keep using the playlists you’ve already curated.
