    I tried the passive recording but Audials does not detect the song being played and labels every song as 'Unknown song...'

     

    Any suggestions for how to fix this problem?

    It’s a bit rich trying to flog Audials 2023, advertising Spotify recording, when you will end up getting banned??

    I got banned twice and the second time I was not even using audials at all.  I think it detected it my prev audio output from an earlier (non Spotify) session.  I sure hope this gets figured out since it's been a problem since last year.  Using the web browser only does not make any difference.  Once I got banned the first time I never used audials to capture a spotify stream again and like I said, I STILL got banned.  Sucks when you have a prem spotify account, too.

    Well I found the web method does work - However, you have to add the track name and artwork yourself, which is tedious. I decided to take out a cheap Deezer account and copy my Spotify playlists over to Deezer. But Audials seems to only record from Deezer at X1 speed :( Audials still with the latest version claim you can copy from Spotify!!

    I keep getting the notifications to upgrade. 

    I will upgrade when Audials has a way to keep me from being banned on Spotify!

    Spottily account was just disabled. I've always used regular recording speed. Any work arounds?

    I've given up waiting for a Spotify solution and so bought a years Deezer subscription and that works fine :)

    So since I have been banned twice by Spotify for recording from the app (Windows) I've been using the following method to successfully record at regular speed from Chrome: 1) Do not have Audials or your browser running 2) After setting up a private playlist in the Spotify app, close it. BUT it stays in memory for a while so either wait for a few minutes or (better) use aTask Manager to fully kill it!!! 3) Open Audials and choose record from Spotify website. It will open Chrome with special flags (ignore the warning!) 3) In the Spotify tab choose your playlist and hit play! It's best to leave your computer for the duration - I've had problems if I move away from the Spotify tab or do other things! You will still have to enter some info but it's better than nothing!

    I've been using this method for several weeks now without incidence :)
