Common questions
Can Spotify downloads be moved into TuneTrace?
No. Spotify’s iPhone downloads are encrypted. TuneTrace needs accessible audio files such as MP3 or M4A.
Can I paste a Spotify link to get the audio?
No. TuneTrace does not download songs from Spotify links or turn previews into full tracks.
Can a free account download songs?
Spotify music downloads require Premium. With a free account, try a short recording to check whether audio can be captured. Any ads that play will also be recorded.
