Spotify -> WAV

[TheFlavor]

I'm not a lawyer but when I Wikipedia "Fair use", I see: "Fair use is a doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. Examples of fair use include... research...."

I'd like to research some music on Spotify and wondering how technically to get it into WAV format?

That's not fair use. You go to the store and buy the CD if you want it in WAV.

even if you are researching it, you probably wouldn't want to get it from spotify. likely they are using a compressed format which wouldn't be suitable for research anyway.

You hit record in Reaper, play in spotify, and reminisce back to the days of cassettes and radio.

Hey, have you try to use TuneFab Spotify Music Converter for making your Spotify Music to WAV file formats.

Is that software legal?

The downloader softwares are legal (currently)
Using them to download copyright material is illegal.

Only if you consider breaking the law to be OK!
