What does StreamFox for Music do? It is a paid program that saves songs, playlists and podcasts from streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer as MP3, FLAC, M4A or WAV files. That breaks those services' terms and, where copy protection is removed, is illegal in many countries.
From streaming catalog to local files
It covers the major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Pandora and YouTube Music. The workflow centers on choosing audio from a supported service and converting it into a format such as MP3, FLAC, M4A, or WAV.
The supported content goes beyond individual songs. Besides songs, it handles albums, playlists and podcasts.
Which audio settings and details are preserved?
Available quality options include 320 kbps, HiFi, Ultra HD, and Hi-Res. The selected output format determines how the converted file is saved, with MP3, FLAC, M4A, and WAV among the supported choices.
The program retains original ID3 tag information during conversion. Those tags carry track details used by music players and library tools to identify and sort audio.
Batch conversion for albums and playlists
Batch processing is suited to selecting groups of tracks, such as a playlist or album, instead of handling every song as a separate conversion. The same workflow also applies to other supported audio, including podcasts and audiobooks.
The services' own apps offer legal offline listening with a paid plan, which is the safer choice.
