Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn’t necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I’m curious how it works.
It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it’s protected.
Hi there! The links in your response are not clickable for Lemmy users, here are the clickable versions: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
@jonny @piracy I wonder if https://github.com/Shabinder/SpotiFlyer still works?

I have no clue how to defeat the DRM/rip the songs. But you can just route the audio to a recording program and record it live.
Not ideal but it’s a workaround if you really need to download something off of Spoti.
It seems apps like SpotiFlyer and Spotube both use the Spotify discovery API but actually get the music from YT Music (which is already easy to download using yt-dlp, NewPipe, or another app of your choice). Kinda sad that I can’t find a way to pirate music off of Spotify yet, but YT Music is pretty good for my purposes.
There was actually a project on github that claimed to allow downloading of Spotify straight from the source with drm bypassing called XSpotify but it was taken down by spotify before i got to try it: https://github.com/meik97/XSpotify
However it was archived on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20200303145624/https://github.com/meik97/XSpotify
Obviously take this with a grain of salt, you should probably read the source code before attempting to run it
