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

SR, i did test both RMC releases (RMC4, RMC3) but spotify employs its own protocol

spotify://

So it's not "http://".

How to extract Spotify music tracks to play them offline?

Dunno what to say about the extracting spotify music tracks thing, depends on what u mean by extracting Spotify music in the first place.

You wanna be able to only extract and save Spotify tracks to the hard disk for later listening or just recording Spotify streaming music to mp3 will also do the trick for you as well ?

If it's the second version, than I guess *** (Spotify Recorder) can help you on this. Doesn't extract anything, but it can capture and record Spotify streaming music to mp3 tracks on your hard disk. It's a pretty good Spotify recorder so should solve the problem in no time.

1. Download free Spotify software, be invited with Spotify and get an account for Spotify.
2. Start the Spotify Recorder program.
3. Change to "Capture" view.
4. Click "Sound recording with tagging" and click "Ok" in the window that appears. The Spotify Recorder program will now record any sound made by your computer.
5. Login into Spotify account or start a new instance of your Spotify Windows software(a new instance is really important. If Spotify is running already, close it and restart it, otherwise recording won't work).
6. In the Spotify software, play back the music you would like to record.
7. Please ensure that no other sounds are being made while the music is being played (avoid e-mail and chat sounds).
8. You can follow how music is automatically recorded, separated into individual files and tagged.
9. The completed files are then displayed in the player on the right hand side.
10. You may export the files by simply dragging them into a folder or into another application.
11. If some files have been incorrectly named or tagged, you can add tags manually by selecting the file and clicking "Edit ID3 tags" in the lower right corner of the player.

Breaking: Spotify Launching US-Based Version Tomorrow; Warner Deal Signed...
Spotify has finally arrived in the U.S.A.!! Maybe Applian.com can implement the spotify protocol in the Replay Media Catcher appz? That would boast sales for RMC4 and Jaksta!

Please contact the developer and ask and let us know what he/she thinks about it, thanks.

Even if you could capture the streams, they are still encrypted. We would need some sort of method to capture AND dectrypt or the files would be useless.

sorry, currently p***ting the original spotify *.OGG streams is not possible. why spotify? why dont you use your tools with any other better FREE music website to download the original streams? search this forum for Playme.com or Simfy.com, for example. They offer FREE trials during which you can try to download their original streams.

The Spotify software is proprietary and uses digital rights management to protect copyright holders. Users who agree to Spotify's Terms and Conditions may not reverse engineer the application.[46]

Digital Rights Management = DRM = Encryption

If someone could crack the encryption it would be the holy grail of stream downloading. There are very few people in the world who could tell the difference between Ogg Vorbis at 320kbps and Lossless audio.
