![]() All one had to do was start playing a song on Spotify and the extension would begin to download a full DRM-free copy of the song in MP3 format. Widespread news of the exploit first hit the web yesterday. ![]() Google quickly removed the app from the Chrome Web Store, citing they remove apps that do not comply with their terms of service. Spotify said they were aware of the matter and have already issued a patch to prevent further use of the exploit. We're still waiting on an official release from Spotify on the matter, however. It's worth pointing out that premium (paying) members are allowed to "store" music locally via what Spotify calls offline mode. This allows users to enjoy their favorite tunes without an Internet connection but of course this function requires a paid subscription. The app's developer, Robin Aldenhoven, acknowledged the fix on Twitter earlier today. He told The Verge that he had no plans to update the extension to circumvent Spotify's new security measures, however.In March, Spotify revamped its desktop and web apps to work more like the mobile versions, making the music streaming service easier to use across platforms. In addition to the fresh look, Spotify improved playlist creation by adding the ability to drag and drop tracks. You can also now write playlist descriptions and add cover images on desktop and web the same way you would on mobile. Perhaps one of the biggest updates arrived for premium members: You can now download tracks to a computer with the desktop app. This was already available for the mobile app, but now laptop and desktop users can also enjoy downloaded music while offline.
