Discord does in fact have a Spotify integration, but it has limitations - you need to link your spotify account, if anyone is a free user everyone else gets silence while they have ads, and you can't use it at the same time as voice chat (the last one is largely why bots like the topic of this post are still popular).
Seems like Discord could estimate the value of Groovy to its users, and if non-negligible, could come up with their own license deal. Perhaps with Spotify or another company.
The people to be angry at are the recording industry.
