REAPER, which is a digital audio production application for computers, offers a full multitrack audio and MIDI recording, editing, processing, mixing and mastering toolset. It supports a vast range of hardware, digital formats and plugins, and can be comprehensively extended, scripted and modified. With just a few clicks, you can add your local music files to REAPER, which is very simple and convenient. Then some people may ask: Is it possible that songs downloaded from Spotify can also be added to Reaper? The answer is that you can’t directly add them to REAPER, because Spotify has encrypted its music files. You cannot play the downloaded Spotify songs on your REAPER or other apps and devices.

As a result, you have to find a Spotify music downloading and converting tool to help you. NoteBurner has a way to solve the question above. The following article will tell you how to add both local music files and Spotify music files to REAPER.
