Spotify is one of the leading music streaming services currently used by music enthusiasts across the globe. The Spotify client for desktop computers is capable of not only streaming music available on the streaming service but also adding any music the user has stored locally on their computer to a library for the user to access and enjoy at any time. Spotify appears to be exploring the possibility of adding music videos to the streaming service's 'Now Playing' app interface. Serial app de-coder Jane Wong discovered and enabled the feature.

ShortCut is an open source video editor which supports many audio and video formats, and you may ask: can I import the music streaming services like Spotify to video or slideshow ShorCut? Or I need to purchase it from another source?

Because Spotify relies on a closed system in which all tracks are streamed to prevent track piracy, it is impossible to copy or play Spotify music outside of Spotify application. Then you might step back and find another source to purchase the track. But besides this method, you can turn to third party software – Sidify Music Converter, which is specialized in recording Spotify music to plain audio files like MP3, AAC, FLAC or WAV, then you can successfully add the converted Spotify music to ShortCut.
