How to copy Spotify music to iPod/iTunes or burn to CD?
Spotify is a great online music application. It is much like an online radio station, broadcast with the agreement of most of the major labels. The client is lightweight, launches fast, and is responsive, when you double click a track to play it starts playing instantly.
A lot of Spotify fans would like to know if it’s possible to copy the tracks off spotify to ipod/iTunes or burn to cd.
Unfortunately, you can't directly download from Spotify to iPod/iTunes. If you want to purchase a track you like you can right click on the track name and there is a "Buy From" link, this doesn't apply to all tracks though. But there is alternative way to copy Spotify music to iTunes and then transfer to iPod or burn to CD.
This guide will show you how to transfer Spotify to iPod or other mp3 players so you can listen music anywhere and anytime. All we need is is Spotify ripper tool (Relpay Music). It's easy to use.

Using Replay Music to copy songs 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. Now you should be able to copy Spotify to iPod and listen it anytime and anywhere.
Enjoy your Spotify MP3 on your iPod now!
Note:This application is FULL compatiable with Windows 7, Vista or XP.
