How to get music from Spotify by using Replay Music?
Replay Music is the best software for ripping music from Spotify so far. Replay Music will automaticly name all the files you rip and put them in the appropriate album folder. The ripping quality is also the best we have tested. And it is the only ripper that plugs directly into Spotify so that it isn’t affected by any background noise from IM'ss or anything using your soundcard.
It's not free but its well worth the $19.95 it costs because it will save you a lot of time and get you the best result. (especially when you consider 1 month of premium Spotify is £9.99 alone). A free trial that allows you to download 25 songs is also available.

Below is a guide to get you streaming, ripping, and playing tunes from Spotify in no time!
Using Replay Music to rip from Spotify:
Once you have the software installed it is time to configure Replay Music. To do so, start with "Settings".
Now you may select a folder where you wish to store your saved files. Be sure that the "Input Source:" is set to "Audio Driver".
Next, go to the "Output" tab found at the top. In this area it is suggested that you modify "File name format:" to "%A – %T" as this will yield nicer looking file names. Thereafter, it is best to modify the quality of the ripping from 128kbit/s to 192kbit/s. You will not benefit from a higher bitrate then 192kbit/s as Spotify only streams music at ~168kbit/s. Lastly, change CBR to VBR for the great quality with smaller file sizes.
Simply close the settings window and enjoy ripping!
Start Spotify and find an album or a playlist you want to rip. I'm going to a party so i want to rip my fiesta playlist..
Next start Replay Music and click on "Start Recording"
Change "Album:" to the album name or playlist name you desire. If you are not ripping full albums or complete playlist it is acceptable to simply leave a default album name. If you do not utilize iTunes it is suggested that you uncheck "Add tracks to iTunes" then click "Ok".
Now that Replay Music is launched and ready, go back to Spotify and start your music. Replay Music will perform their magic and rip and name all the tracks that you are streaming in Spotify. In fact, Replay Music will rip any and every song playing on Spotify until the "Stop Recording" button is clicked.
If everything is working as its supposed your Replay Music should look something like the screen shot below.
That's it. Easy to rip music from Spotify.
