What happened to Spotify for business?
Spotify for Business is no longer available. SoundMachine picks up where it left off, 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 all major U.S. PROs 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 with the proper Spotify license coverage, allowing you to continue using the playlists you’ve already curated.
