Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or li (social.coop)

Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I'm curious how it works.

It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it's protected.

There was actually a project on github that claimed to allow downloading of Spotify straight from the source with drm bypassing called XSpotify but it was taken down by spotify before i got to try it: https://github.com/meik97/XSpotify

However it was archived on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20200303145624/https://github.com/meik97/XSpotify

Obviously take this with a grain of salt, you should probably read the source code before attempting to run it
