Recently, we have received many customer inquiries regarding Spotify. One of the questions we get asked frequently is: How to rip Spotify music to FLAC without loss?
As we all know, all Spotify original songs are encoded in Ogg Vorbis 320kbps format. But only Spotify Premium users have the opportunity to access these high-quality songs. At the same time, they can download Spotify tracks for offline listening. However, due to DRM copyright protection, these offline Spotify tracks can only be played on certain devices.
In order to listen to Spotify songs on these popular media players, it is necessary to convert Spotify music to a commonly used format. As a lossless audio format, FLAC might still be the best choice if you want to keep the same quality as the original sound. FLAC, short for Free Lossless Audio Codec, is an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless. This means that the audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss of audio quality.
So, how can you download Spotify music to FLAC? Well, the easiest way to download FLAC from Spotify is to use a powerful Spotify to FLAC converter.
