Does Spotify have a way to see if your computer is recording with your DAC’s stereo mix? And if so, is there a way around it?

    Spotify cannot tell if you record a song. So no, it won’t get you banned. But as others have said, OSes have built in piracy protection.

    With that said, it’s a terrible way to pirate songs. You can find most anything on torrents. Grab yourself some nice flac rips and encode them to a nice AAC format. Spotify uses really shitty encodes, you’re not getting lossless through them.

      Actually, they’re apparently about to finally launch a lossless product. And they’re going to charge you more for it, when Apple doesn’t. Bet that’ll be great for them.
