you cant get the mp3 song from spotify, however you can use the information that provide spotify in order to download it in other place (information like name of the song, length and so on), this little app offers that: the instalation setup and usage is written in there, its very easy to use.

If you have problems installing this app, probably is because you are using an old version of ruby (by default is 1.8.7), you need to upgrade it to 1.9.2 and then install the app.

Hope that helps.

If you have a premium account you can sync playlists to be available offline, however you will never have access to the raw MP3 files (actually Spotify serves OGG vorbis files though that's beside the point).

The service is for streaming music only, but why would you want to store the files on your drive anyways? They'll always be waiting for you online, that's the entire point of Spotify! :)
