What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

As per title. New releases especially are quite hard to find on other clients or p2p resources; what's the best way to get them from the source so that I can share them back?

DownOnSpot is the only one correct answer.

Edit: Zotify and Onthespot (which has a GUI) look good, as they too download straight from the source.

Direct links aren't allowed, you need to edit that. We can talk about piracy, but no linking.

I think you misunderstood the rule about not linking to pirated content.

Maybe. I suppose we could always report the comments linking directly, and let the admin decide, couldn't we?

No, you have misunderstood what the rule is about.

You're not allowed to link to pirated content, such as a download link to the Barbie movie.

But you're free to link to places that discuss the Barbie movie, places that discuss where to watch the Barbie movie, and places that teaches you how you can rip the Barbie movie yourself.

The only things you cannot link to, are direct links to pirated content

Go ahead. The rule is about copyrighted content, not open source tools.

Even if it’s a link to a tool, not a specific piece of content?

But it's just a link to GitHub right
