Hi piracy community,

I'm currently thinking about developing a tool which allows downloading songs from Spotify. Now, I don't think this is allowed in Spotifys ToS and I wanted to ask, if anybody has any experience with getting their Spotify account banned.

I have 3 main questions:

Can I appeal my ban?
What happens if the account is part of a family? Does the family owner get punished?
Does the payment method get locked?

Any and all help would be appreciated!

Note: I know that tools for this already exist, but I want to write my own.

I would get a premium trial and share any playlists on the account you don’t want to lose for the development of your tool. Worked for me when exporting my 4000~ song playlist.
