If you're recording audio for personal use (e.g., creating a backup of music you already own), here's how you could download songs from Spotify to Mac by recording the audio.
1. Tools like Audio Hijack (paid) can capture audio playing on your Mac. Set the in
2. Set the input source to the system audio on Mac or Spotify app.
3. Start playing the song you want to record.
4. Begin recording in the software while the song plays.
5. Once the song finishes, stop the recording and save the file in your desired format (e.g., MP3).
Recording Spotify audio is totally and not against their terms. Instead, consider using Spotify Premium or purchasing music legally to support the artists you love.
