Why participate in PPP?

All of the program requirements are set up to contribute to the best possible experience on Spotify for music providers, artists, and listeners.

Many of the requirements will contribute to getting your content live smoothly and swiftly.

They’ll help improve the quality of content catalogs in line with industry best practice and international standards. They'll also help us work together, finding issues and errors and getting it right the first time to get your content into our apps.

Every tier you complete unlocks program benefits which can be advantageous to a music provider. New benefits are in development to offer more useful program features.

The benefits available are dependent on your business type.

Some types of music providers can complete tiers to obtain Preferred Provider status on our Provider Directory. These distributors meet our highest standards for quality metadata and anti-infringement measures. We’ll even give you a plaque that says so!

Other types of music providers have business models suited to other benefits. For example, some providers can unlock the ability to send Spotify Artist IDs to make sure content is accurately mapped to the appropriate artist page.
