Spotify is a digital music, podcast, and video streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs and other content from artists all over the world on different devices like computers, phones, tablets, speakers, TVs, and cars.

It has free and Premium versions. Both free and Premium versions enable you to browse and search what you want to listen to, get recommendations, build connections of music, see what your others are listening to, and create your own radio stations. The Premium version enables you to download music for offline enjoyment, play any song you like, skip any song you dislike, and have no ads. But you need to pay for 9.99 EUR per month on Premium version.

The DRM protection upon Spotify songs is the limit that prevents you from downloading and converting Spotify songs to MP3 or other formats for unlimited enjoyment.

If you want to download or convert Spotify music to MP3 or other formats, you need to remove the DRM protection first.
