Wow, I can download mp3s from Spotify's webapp.Open your browsers Console, goto _Network _ and filter on _XHR_. When playing a song, the url will be exposed as _"8bfe132f45b33640f499bfd91eb5a5c7f8e35552"_ or something simular. Right-click on the url and open in new tab. The song will start playing in that tab, just hit CTRL+S or Command+S and save it to your drive.What did Spotify think of?

Have you flagged this back to Spotify? It might be a good idea, I can't see them being super happy to leave a bug of that size floating wild.

I have and they know about it. Don't think it will be fixed...

That seems like a potential show stopper in convincing labels all is well.

I've learned that Spotify convinced the labels that it's OK... I think they will change their mind after someone farms the mp3s.

Super maximum facepalm! That'll crap all over their business when it happens, hopefully they'll be smart enough to sort it out before taking it out of beta.

I can't speak to the exact measures we take, but this isn't going to happen. For starters, take a closer look at the URL. It's not as simple as it appears.

does it still work? Spotify says :access denied

You have to start download before the browser has finished loading the mp3.
