: Spotify may suspend or ban accounts that use automated tools to rip music.

Since Spotify lacks an official export feature, third-party software is often used to capture or convert streams into usable FLAC files.

: Software like Audacity can record system audio directly as it plays from Spotify and export it as a FLAC file.

: To get a "true" FLAC, your source account must have access to Spotify's Lossless tier. Using a Free account (max 160 kbps) and exporting to FLAC will not result in CD-quality sound. Legal and Ethical Risks
