How to Remove DRM from Spotify

Spotify is a streaming service that adds a DRM layer to its streaming music collection. The technology DRM, short for Digital Rights Management, which was intended as a means to protect digital media from piracy, has been giving consumers trouble since its inception. You can’t copy the stuff you buy or play it on anything other than the intended device. That’s really a problem.

Spotify's DRM restrictions may prevent you from sharing a copy of the songs downloaded even you have already been a subscriber. Fortunately, there is a way to remove the annoying DRM from Spotify. However, keep in mind removing said restrictions might violate the various Terms of Use you agree to when your purchase a digital product, the best way to protect yourself is to break the DRM on your Spotify music files for the purpose of keeping a local, personal backup. (We don’t encourage you to do this for any other reason.)
