It is not hard. But please don't misuse it and ruin the fun for everyone. It is nice to be able to use the music relatively easily for hobby projects. My music server has functionality to play tracks from Spotify this way:
I wonder how many premium accounts Anna’s Archive had to use to scrape the whole thing. Surely Spotify has scrape protection and wouldn’t allow a single account to stream (download) millions of separate tracks.
Seems like librespot is not directly suppporting the fetching of audio to files, and intentionally so, in order to not get targeted by Spotify.
Obviously you can dump the audio to file as it "plays", but that would be be very slow.
So I suppose if one wanted to use librespot for archiving, one would have to modify it to support this use case.
