Question

We have an iOS application that uses libspotify to authenticate Spotify users and access their playlists and music.

This works great for Spotify Premium users, but we've noticed that Spotify Free users (a class that launched fairly recently) cannot authenticate with their credentials.

I couldn't find anything in their docs that referred to this - does anyone know if it is possible to authenticate free users?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It is not. As you should be able to see, the error SP_ERROR_USER_NEEDS_PREMIUM is thrown if you try to log in with a free user.
