Spotify's ".file" has been a tough one to crack.

  The only work I've seen on breaking Spotify DRM encryption was this[1], back in 2014 and discussed on HN here[2]. [1]: http://moyix.blogspot.com/2014/07/breaking-spotify-drm-with-panda.html http://moyix.blogspot.com/2014/07/breaking-spotify-drm-with-... [2]:

  Apparently they actually tried unlike Grooveshark. [0] I don't think Grooveshark would have minded if someone cracked their "DRM" even while they were still in business. :) [0]: http://lgms.nl/blog-1 http://lgms.nl/blog-1

  I'd actually be more interested in the database files that Spotify uses to manage cached tracks on Android - at the moment the UI is terrible, especially when you have 200+ tracks downloaded and are running out of space on your device. My goal is to write an 'ncdu' application to show what files/albums are using the most space.
