Does Spotify have a way to see if your computer is recording with your DAC’s stereo mix? And if so, is there a way around it?

this would mean no, you’re not good.
and you need to take their second bit of advice to heart! always shoot for higher bitrate files if you’re learning to produce. manipulating lossy files will often sound nastier, so get FLACs/WAVs of the songs instead. with those two reasons + the fact that Spotify could possibly have unnoticeable watermarks while streaming even if it does work, I would strongly advise against getting your samples this way
im not producing and this is for my own use. Also I listen to obscure music that isn’t available as torrent yet.
So Audacity has the option to loopback into the software. Spotify shouldn’t see this correct? How does that get around the the Windows piracy protection?
gotcha. then yeah, i wouldn’t worry about them noticing you’re recording with Audacity
fwiw if it’s any easier, deezer usually has a similar library to spotify, and free-mp3-download.net downloads from there with a bit better quality too.
do people know where free-mp3-download.net gets their tracks? does it come directly from deezer?
they do indeed rip them directly through a premium deezer account.
i can also recommend soulseek if you’re not already aware of it, it’s a lot easier than trying to find music torrents
You can even do it yourself. Check out this guide (you need to scroll past the ARLs to find the instructions).
