Replay Music is the best software for recording music from Spotify. It allows to split, tag and name files automatically. It can also put all your recorded files into the appropriate folder.

Unlike many other Spotify recorders, it records music directly from Spotify, so you don't record any background noise or any audio from your sound card besides songs from Spotify.

It is very easy to use Replay Music to record songs from Spotify:

1. Download Replay Music and install it.
2. Launch Replay Music
3. Hit the "Settings" button.
4. On the "Input" tab choose the directory to store your recordings.
   Spotify songs will be placed into the directory after recording.
   
   On the same tab, select the "Audio Driver" as the "Input Source". This option allows you to record songs from sound card without any background. It also allows you to record audio on sound cards like Realtek, Sigmatel that doesn't have the Stereo Mix / Wave-out Mix option.
   
5. On the "Output" tab change "File name format" if you like. I prefer to use the "%A - %T" template, so that my MP3 recordings look like "artist_name - title_name.mp3".
   
   On the same tab select "Record to MP3" and change the bit-rate to 192kbps (Spotify uses the bitrate of 168kbps and we are a slightly higher one). Also select the VBR (variable bit-rate) for better quality and smaller filesize.
   
6. Close the Setting windows.
   Note that you need to change the Setting only once.
   
7. Start Spotify and find a song or playlist that you want to record. But don't start playing yet.
   Note that you need to start Replay Music before Spotify.
   
8. In Replay Music hit the "Start Recording" button.
   
9. Enter "Artist", "Album" if you like. Change other settings if you need.
   
   If you want your recorded songs tobe added to iTunes automatically, mark the "Add tracks to iTunes" checkbox. Hit the "Ok" button.
   
10. Start playing music with Spotify.
11. Replay Music will record your songs from Spotify. It will also split them, tag and name automatically.
    
12. If Replay Music didn't manage to find ID3 tags (artist,title,...) for a song, you can right-click on the recording and select "Tag track" to try to identify the song again.
    
    You can also edit tracks manually by hitting the Edit button.
13. Enjoy your MP3 recordings on any player!

Party's Over! Spotify Seriously Limiting Free Usage...
Thursday, April 14, 2011

Spotify is now taking further steps to limit free access in Europe, a move designed to convert more premium users, boost profitability, and satisfy label concerns. "Above all, this means we can continue making Spotify available to all in the long-term," Spotify CEO Daniel Ek relayed early this morning (midday from Europe). Here's a quick summary of the changes...

(1) Users will be limited to 10 hours of free listening a month, instead of 20.

(2) No song can be played more than 5 times without a premium account.

(3) Changes happen May 1st, and 30-day premium trials will be handed out during that month.

(4) New users can enjoy Spotify in its current form for 6 months before feeling the changes. Those who joined prior to November 1st, 2010, will feel the changes now.

In a blog entry this morning, Ek identified heavier Spotify users as a chief target of the changes. "The changes we're having to make will mainly affect heavier Spotify Free and Open users, as most of you use Spotify to discover music – on average over 50 new tracks per month, even after a year," Ek described. "For those of you using Spotify to find new tracks to enjoy and share with friends, these changes shouldn’t get in the way of you doing that."

And of course, Ek added that Premium and Unlimited users would not be affected.

spotify is boring, that's why i never did a review of their service. with proxies of any type class (A, B, C) you can use their service without problems .. but spotify is boring, that's why i never did a review of their service. oops, havent i said that already? sorry for repeating myself The casual music listener is better off with Deezer.com (no proxies needed), it has no limitations and sound quality is great. No installation needed (although you could install deezer.exe software).

Do you have problems with Replay Media Catcher 3.11 or RMC 4? Both versions can dump HTTP streams of different content types.

Hey, to the idiot who said we are going to ruin it...how about this...my band is on spotify, and I don't have a copy of our CD from 1991. I have never seen a dollar from my work on this record, but the label still releases it digitally. Since it's a punk rock record, and I'm punk rock, I will never sue over it, but I want my effing music. So, I hope somebody has a nifty way of copying the track so I can have a copy of my own album. After all, I have been asking the record label for a copy of the CD for years, but they never gave me copies (except when it was released).

I have tried multiple programs claiming to Recorder/or download Spotify music as mp3, but most of them cannot keep high Fidelity quality as original audio. Since using a Spotify Music Converter from Sidify Inc., I think it is what I am always seeking for. Losslesss conversion process, super easy to use, customizable output, as well as keep ID3 tags on songs!!

• Edit your audio and music recordings using the built-in audio editor
• Convert your audio recordings to MP3, M4A, AAC, WMA, FLAC, etc.

Here is how to convert Spotify music to MP3.
