Spotify DRM Removal & Spotify Conversion

Spotify, the most popular streaming music service, comes with two tiers which are Spotify Free and Spotify Premium. One difference between Spotify Premium and Spotify Free is whether you can download songs and listen to them offline. Music downloaded from Spotify Premium are DRM-protected Ogg files and cannot be converted to MP3, M4A or other commonly used audio formats. Therefore, the songs cannot be played on iPod Nano/Shuffle, MP3 player or Walkman or used as background music in video editing software programs or apps. Copying the downloaded songs to a USB flash drive or a SD card is also meaningless.

You may wonder how to remove Spotify DRM and convert your favorite Spotify songs to MP3 or M4A. In fact, Spotify DRM removal is as easy as a breeze. This article will show you how to remove DRM protection from Spotify songs using TuneKeep Spotify Music Converter.

DRM Protection and Spotify Premium

DRM is the abbreviation for Digital Rights Management. DRM is a type of protection created to prevent unlimited copying and use of content such as movies, music, novels and games. A feature of DRM protection is that the content can only be played on certain software/hardware. DRM protection is widely used, making it difficult to duplicate and reuse the original data. Spotify, one of the largest streaming music distribution services in the world, also uses DRM protection.

It's safe to say that Spotify Free doesn't even allow you to download songs and has nothing to do with DRM protection. However, with Spotify Premium, you can download songs, albums and playlists from Spotify app. You can listen to downloaded songs on the Spotify app even when you are offline. Also, the songs downloaded from Spotify Premium are DRM-protected Ogg Vorbis files with file extension *.ogg. The Ogg Vorbis format is copyright-free, so it's royalty-free for personal use or corporate commercial use. That means you don't have to pay for copyright. This is why Spotify adopts the Ogg Vorbis format.

Ordinary Ogg files are not used as often as MP3 and M4A, but many MP3 players support Ogg. However, Spotify Premium Ogg is DRM protected, so you can't play songs on devices where you can't install the Spotify app. This means that you can't play Spotify songs on iPod Nano/Shuffle, most Walkmans, PSPs, MP3 players, etc.

Downloaded Ogg files can be played normally on the Spotify app during the period of Premium subscription. If the Premium subscription expires, the Ogg files will disappear and cannot be played any more. Needless to say, if you have a device that can't even install Spotify app, you won't be able to play it even you are using Spotify Premium.

However, for ordinary users, it is never a business abuse. They just want to play Spotify songs on other devices and enjoy them on the go. Therefore, users may need to remove Spotify DRM protection. Is there any good way? Here we introduce you to the powerful Spotify DRM removal software called TuneKeep Spotify Music Converter.
