It's widely known that Spotify music has encoded all tracks in Ogg Vorbis Audio format. You can download Spotify tracks for offline listening with a paid subscription. But the offline content is essentially cached streams, not the stored tracks. Moreover, the cached Spotify songs are only readable and playable by the Spotify app. So you can't freely enjoy lossless Spotify music on some non-licensed devices or media players.

As a lossless audio file, FLAC may always be the best option if you want to play Spotify music on unauthorized devices without sacrificing the original audio quality. You might already have attempted to download Spotify music to FLAC songs without degrading sound quality. But the encryption protection of Spotify music makes you come to nothing. Thankfully, a professional third-party Spotify music recorder, AudiCable, is here to fix it. Keep reading this post, and you'll learn how to download Spotify music to lossless FLAC songs using AudiCable.

Part 1. What's the Difference Between MP3 and FLAC?

FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an open-source audio compression format. Audio compressed via the Free Lossless Audio Codec is lossless, meaning no sound quality is lost during the compression. This is very much unlike other popular audio compression formats that you've probably heard of, like MP3 or WMA.

MP3 is a lossy format, which means parts of the music are shaved off to reduce the file size to a more compact level. In contrast with MP3, FLAC nowhas been embraced by the music industry as a cost-effective way to distribute CD-quality sound or better quality music, and it doesn't have the auditory problems of MP3s.

FLAC is explicitly designed for audiophiles who wish to play compressed FLAC files in their favorite player (or car, home stereo). The following is a step-by-step guide on converting Spotify music to FLAC format. Please download AudiCable Spotify to FLAC Converter first before getting started.
