I'm not sure how the licensing works, but would it be possible to allow guest users to act as a "speaker" - and only require Spotify Premium when upgrading to DJ features?

If I have a group of 100 people in a similar physical location, I'd like to be able to have 100 speakers in sync. Requiring them all to create an account, let alone purchase Spotify Premium, is unfortunately too much to ask.

If you have some control over the payment model, I'd even be interested in paying an extra fee as a DJ in order to enable more remote speaker connections.

In that scenario, you would have to have 100 accounts. It is possible to get licensed to do that (i inquired about it for an app i wanted to expand www.r3vl.com) but those music API services require a 6 digit sum of $$$ for commitment... so i moved on

quick edit, if those 100 speakers were simply ONLY broadcasting, you could get licensed as a radio, but if you want the ability to have others select songs, it is pricey
