Hello!
Apologies for the delay in response. If I understand your question correctly, you're asking whether a user needs to create a developer account in order to create a Napster user account to use our services? While creating a developer account will create a trial Napster account for you behind-the-scenes in order for you to get acquainted with our services, these are two independent systems. In order to create Napster users that are capable of authenticating with our API and stream music, one must either go through the manual process of creating a Napster account via our website (
https://us.napster.com/plans), or reach out about creating a partner integration in order to access our account provisioning systems:
https://business.napster.com/.
Hopefully this is helpful, but please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. To be clear, we specifically DO NOT want any integration to try and provision Napster Developer accounts in order to give users access to our services--developer accounts are solely used for managing credentials used to access our services, not user accounts.
Best,
Dillon Easter
