Can you download music from Spotify to mac?

I also wanted to download playlists or songs from Spotify to Mac before, but I didn't want to install a bunch of third-party software, so I tried the built-in Automator recording on Mac. It's actually quite useful. Although it can't be downloaded directly, it can record the audio played by Spotify and finally export it to MP3, which is a workaround.

Specific operation (my experience)

1. Open Automator (in Applications > Automator).
2. Create a new "Workflow" and select Record Audio.
3. Select "Built-in Input" in the input device. If your Mac doesn't have Stereo Mix, you can create an Aggregate Device in Audio MIDI Setup to synchronize the system audio input and output.
4. Open QuickTime Player, select New Audio Recording, and then select the audio source in Automator.
5. Open Spotify, play the playlist you want to record, and click the "Record" button at the same time.
6. After the playlist is finished, stop recording and then export MP3 or AAC files.

My experience

• No third-party software is required, no need to worry about security issues, and the recorded sound quality is also good.
• You need to wait for the playlist to finish playing, and you need to manually edit when recording multiple songs, which is time-consuming.

If you don’t want to install any software, but want to download playlist from Spotify to Mac, this method is feasible, but you need a little patience. It is quite convenient for those who only want to save a small number of songs!
