But for spotify ytdlp does use youtube or other sites to get songs right?
This script does directly download from spotify! can ytdlp not use the code in this script to directly download songs from spotify?

Spotify songs have DRM? In the linked application (the Spotify downloader) I see absolutely no code regarding DRM removal, or any Widevine or FairPlay code / circumvention. It all just seems to be obfuscated, like it is for YouTube.

If stuff like this is considered DRM, then YouTube's n-sig algorithm (#1437) should be considered a DRM as well, right? What's the difference? Or am I missing something?
If a plain, simple Python script like the one linked in this issue can download Spotify songs, there can't really be DRM - or am I misunderstanding how DRM works or what yt-dlp's rules regarding DRM are?

Spotify songs do have proper DRM - atleast the publicly accessible formats do. I did not look at the source code of the linked app, so I have no idea what they are doing

@pukkandan author of zspotify here. Only the webclient has drm(widevine), the desktop client on the other hand has no drm so it can be emulated to pull songs from spotify.
