Gracias de antemano por vuestra ayuda

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!

How to record music from Spotify with Spotify Ripper

1. Download Spotify Ripper and extract the contents of the archive.
   All recorded music will be saved into the same folder where the Spotify Ripper resides.
   
2. Start Spotify and make sure there are no music tracks playing.
3. Start Spotify Ripper by launching "Spotify Ripper.exe".
4. Mark the "Logg" box. A small window will appear on your screen, telling you the status of your recording process.
5. Hit "Hitta Spotify". This will allows Spotify Ripper to be connected to Spotify, so that Spotify Ripper can rename recordings correctly.
   If everything went fine, you will see the "Spotify hittat" message in the log.
6. Hit "Rippa". This will make Spotify Ripper wait for Spotify to start playing a track and start ripping it while it plays.
   When a song ends, Spotify Ripper will convert the track to an .mp3 file which will be renamed automatically. Simultaneously Spotify Ripper will be recording the next music track from Spotify playlist.
7. Hit the "Rippa" again to stop recording from Spotify.
8. You can go to Spotify and select playlists, tracks or albums that your want to play. Spotify ripper will record them while they are being played.

Please note that any background sounds and noises will be recorded by Spotify Ripper. It is highly recommended to to turn of system sounds, close any instant messengers, e-mail clients or any programs that can produce sound that you don't want to record.

If Spotify Ripper doesn't work for you, try starting Spotify Ripper before you start Spotify. You can also and restart both Spotify and Spotify ripper.

If Spotify Ripper doesn't work for you, you can try Replay Music. The latter program can record music even if your sound card doesn't have the stereo mix. It is compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP. And it can record not only from Spotify, but almost from any online music service and Internet radio station.

Muy buen artículo, este tipo de artículos que se les puede sacar provecho son los que me gustan y no los comics y cosas así.

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).

Replay Media Catcher (webdump plugin on or off) cannot save the *.OGG-streams, can it?
