Please note

If you register or subscribe to Spotify, you will agree to the Spotify terms of use. We recommend to read them carefully and to adhere to them.

According to the Copyright Law of the United States, “No action may be brought under this title [copyright law] alleging infringement of copyright […] based on noncommercial use by a consumer of [a digital audio recording device]”.

The Spotify music stream that Audials is able to record is not protected by effective copy-protection measures. Audials just records the unencrypted signal which is outputted to the system sound device.

Besides the background recording in realtime (1x speed), recording in high-speed (up to 30x) is available in Audials One. When you start recording in high-speed, Audials One communicates with the Spotify servers. When you record in 1x, Audials One does not communicate with Spotify servers.

The Spotify app could check your PC whether it is prepared for recording. So currently, you’d better only consider “secure” recording methods that protect your usage data by only recording music at realtime (1x) speed and that do not communicate directly with the Spotify servers. In Audials, this will be ensured if you use the recording from the Spotify website, not from the Spotify app.
