  • They use a version of this.

  • zotify

  • Wrong. Zotify downloads from source.

  • WorkOS

  • zspotify

  • what you want is ZSpotify, which will download songs from spotify itself in either MP3 or the original OGG format. it can do individual tracks or playlists, but you'll have to log in (a burner is recommended but i've never had any issues myself)

  • librespot-python

    Open Source Spotify Client

  • You are incorrect. Zotify uses librespot-python under the hood.

  • dmca

    Repository with text of DMCA takedown notices as received. GitHub does not endorse or adopt any assertion contained in the following notices. Users identified in the notices are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Additional information about our DMCA policy can be found at

  • Spotify desktop client even uses a .../playplay/ endpoint that returns an obfuscated key with seemingly zero traces of Widevine. (The de-obfuscation code got nuked off of GitHub by Spotify, source.) This implies that Spotify downloading can be unimaginably faster than what even librespot currently does.

  • InfluxDB
