you cant get the mp3 song from spotify, however you can use the information that provide spotify in order to download it in other place (information like name of the song, length and so on), this little app offers that: https://github.com/frosas/spotify-to-mp3 the instalation setup and usage is written in there, its very easy to use.
If you have problems installing this app, probably is because you are using an old version of ruby (by default is 1.8.7), you need to upgrade it to 1.9.2 and then install the app.
Hope that helps.

Isn't it illegal to download from Spotify? – Chester Nov 11 '13 at 02:41

you are not downloading the song directly from spotify as i mentioned, you are only using the song information to download it in other place (legal or illegal, that's up to you) in this case this app is fetching the info and search that on Grooveshark (which is music streaming service), so i guess you get the point. – riccivr Nov 11 '13 at 02:51

Any possible way to copy all URI from a playlist at once? – Pedro Dusso Sep 09 '14 at 16:53

the gem doesnt parse the entire playlist URI, so you need to grab the song URI one by one, however you can grab all the songs inside playlist with ctrl and then right click them to copy all the URIs at once. – riccivr Sep 10 '14 at 15:35

This particular service doesn't work anymore, and the answer is outdated. – Nikana Reklawyks May 19 '20 at 00:28

If you have a premium account you can sync playlists to be available offline, however you will never have access to the raw MP3 files (actually Spotify serves OGG vorbis files though that's beside the point).
The service is for streaming music only, but why would you want to store the files on your drive anyways? They'll always be waiting for you online, that's the entire point of Spotify! :)

4I prefer to have them on my drive I can use them on mobile and etc ... . and the most big problem is that internet is expensive in my country! – user157675 May 13 '13 at 20:52

1Then offline sync is probably the way to go. The mobile client also supports offline sync, just so you know. – Nik Reiman May 14 '13 at 09:22

> They'll always be waiting for you onlineThe problem with the internet: everything is temporary, including Spotify. Not even NewGrounds can hold a candle to this. In at least 10 years, all of your favorite media will disappear. – Tcll Apr 26 '19 at 21:58
