A Spotify Premium account played through public spaces is, technically, outside its terms of service. Beyond licensing exposure, it places your club's identity inside the same algorithmic universe as everyone else's living room. The playlist that opens with a track your member just heard at the gym, in an Uber, in an airport lounge, is the wrong opening line for a space your members chose precisely because it is not everywhere else.
The alternative isn't a louder music budget. It's an editorial radio: a continuous, curated signal designed for your club's voice, time of day, and energy. One that recognises the difference between Tuesday lunch and Saturday at 11pm, between the library and the rooftop, between member arrivals and a private dinner.
