• Do you think it would be possible to add a field for a Spotify subscribe url on the Settings > Destinations page? Or, alternatively, add a subscription url field with a customizable text label.

    As of now, the Google Play setting is useless to us non-US podcasters, but Spotify is becoming more and more widely available.

    Hello @dst,

    We would gladly add Spotify subscribe URLs. Can you share the subscribe URL for your podcast to Spotify so we can use that as a template?

    Thanks,
    Angelo

    Sure thing! They’re of the format https://open.spotify.com/show/5VLSpGUdg8HMZzk0ksDNfJ and have to be copied & pasted from that particular podcast’s Spotify listing page (or at least I haven’t found a comprehensive listing of shows that would be available and findable by Google, for example).

    And thanks!

    Hello @dst,

    Great! I will start the process next to see if we can use their logo for the subscribe buttons. Otherwise we may have to come up with something creative. We have a support contact at Spotify but if you have someone we can contact that will speed things along, please email me cio [at] rawvoice (dot) com.

    Thanks,
    Angelo

    Hello @dst,

    Yes I have seen these pages before, Unfortunately they have strict guidelines on their logo usage. For example from the 2nd link: “Currently there is no way no change the design of the follow button”. Simply using what they have designed will confuse folks who, everywhere else, does not follow a podcast but actually “subscribe” to a podcast. Once the dialog starts with Spotify the lawyers will have their discussions and hopefully they will allow us to use the logo with text saying “Subscribe to podcast on Spotify” or some variant. Every company we’ve worked with this has not been an issue, but Spotify is the only one that has such strict guidelines. Stay tuned.

    Thanks,
    Angelo

    Hello @dst,

    Just leaving you an update, we are still waiting on Spotify to give us guidance on using their logo.

    Thanks,
