You mentioned needing to reverse engineer the API for browsing etc. I think you can just see what Spot [0] does instead! [0] https://github.com/xou816/spot

Yeah, I've realized that the currently used API just lets you request a key for the public Spotify Web API, and I can just get the collection of the user and etc. from there.

I was under the impression that all audio Spotify serves is heavily DRM-ed and can only play with special hardware decoders which respect the DRM? How did was this person able to play the encrypted audio? Does this not let them effectively rip music from Spotify?

Does your PC or phone have special hardware decoders from Spotify? Can you play Spotify on your PC or phone?

Yes, my PC and phone most definitely do.
