You'd have to turn off system sounds though (such as e-mail notification jingles, beeps, dings etc as they would get recorded too).

DeSpotify is a free spotify client: http://despotify.se/ Also, remember http://thelastripper.com/ & last.fm still goes on. When you illicitly acquire tracks ANYWAY, why bother jumping through hoops and reverse engineering Spotify further still... Also, most people wouldn't want saved Spotify tracks as Ogg format doesn't work on their iPods...

sure you can, but the question is, if you can listen to them any way why download them at all. You can even get spotify for mobile devices now. 2009/10/23 Rik Boland > Spotify is letting people listen to their fav tracks, this is great! > > Surely this mean that you are able to capture these song and save them > on one's hard drive.

[ubuntu-uk] Only asking on Educational basis!
Spotify is letting people listen to their fav tracks, this is great! Surely this mean that you are able to capture these song and save them on one's hard drive. Would this not be a problem and is there open source software to achieve this?
