Could you build this?

No Delivering ad-free, offline, high-quality playback on free accounts requires reverse engineering proprietary streaming protocols and DRM, which is specialized and legally fraught.

What it would actually take: A real version would need to reverse engineer Spotify's private client APIs, audio streaming format, and content-protection layer, then keep pace with frequent server and client changes. That requires advanced reverse-engineering and audio-DSP skills, and it conflicts with the service's terms and copyright law.
