HappyTracks is a parental control companion for Spotify Premium Family. It adds a request-and-approval workflow: kids request songs, parents approve before tracks are added to a shared playlist. HappyTracks does not stream or host music; playback happens in Spotify.

Yes. HappyTracks requires an active Spotify Premium Family subscription. It works alongside Spotify using the official APIs and does not provide music access independently.

No. HappyTracks is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Spotify. Spotify provides streaming; HappyTracks provides workflow and playlist moderation.

No. HappyTracks does not host, stream, or modify audio content. All music playback occurs directly within Spotify apps or services.

A child searches Spotify’s catalog in HappyTracks, submits a track request, a parent reviews and approves, and the approved track is added to the designated Spotify playlist. Playback happens through Spotify. HappyTracks manages the request workflow and playlist updates only.

From the parent dashboard, use “Refresh playlist data” to sync the Spotify shared playlist into HappyTracks, including songs you added manually in Spotify.

HappyTracks does not alter or edit audio. Parents decide which tracks are approved and added. The app provides structure and visibility; content decisions remain with the parent.

HappyTracks does not modify or block content within Spotify accounts. It structures how music is selected and added to a designated playlist. Within the HappyTracks workflow, children can only request music tracks; podcast and video content are not available through the request interface. For families using Spotify Kids (requires Spotify Premium Family), HappyTracks can expand access by letting parents approve specific tracks for a managed playlist. Playback continues within Spotify or Spotify Kids, depending on your configuration. HappyTracks does not alter Spotify’s platform or restrict content at the account level; it provides a moderated playlist workflow so parents guide music selection while avoiding podcast or video exposure inside HappyTracks.

Yes. HappyTracks does not restrict access to Spotify itself. It is an optional structured workflow for families who want approvals on what gets added to the shared playlist.

Only the minimum needed to process requests, manage playlist additions, and associate parent and child accounts. It does not store or cache audio. Spotify access uses secure OAuth with Spotify’s official APIs.
