Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or li (social.coop)

Does anyone have any links for reverse engineering Spotify DRM? I didn't necessarily need it for myself, have plenty of music, and it would be a pretty inefficient means of piracy vs. BitTorrent or like yt-dlp, but I'm curious how it works.

It always seems to me like the analog gap is particularly gaping with audio, and I wonder how far down to the metal it's protected.

It seems apps like SpotiFlyer and Spotube both use the Spotify discovery API but actually get the music from YT Music (which is already easy to download using yt-dlp, NewPipe, or another app of your choice). Kinda sad that I can't find a way to pirate music off of Spotify yet, but YT Music is pretty good for my purposes.
