Spotify sends the music in octet-stream packets of 160KB as the music plays along.
The indian music streaming site Jiosaavn directly sends the whole music file as MP4 at once which I just downloaded through the network catcher and it seems to have no DRM :D
@freemo
Okay I checked an Indian music service too (Jiosaavn) it also sends 180KiB of data constantly while downloading is not constant. 🤔
I think I should start learning about the protocols and inner workings of web more, any good place to start for that??
@freemo
I still don't understand the need to send 180KiB of data constantly even though the downloading side only downloads when a new track starts to play. ACK/NACK are for confirmation of the receiving of a packet right??
I am playing music from Spotify Web Player since a few hours and I see that the network monitor shows a steady flow of 180 KiB/s being sent from my computer while download is not much. The total sent data till now is 1.3GiB while the received is 417MiB.
Why and what is all this going data outside of my computer when playing spotify through web

The industry's current approach to cybersecurity is to ban running non-preapproved EXE files from non-preapproved locations.
This is completely giving up on the idea of a computer as a thing that runs software created by the user. It is also an admission of complete defeat of the idea of an Operating System as a trusted guardian of security (because otherwise it would be safe to run EXEs).
It is likely that this won't be the last of user rights to go. Once gone, they will be hard to get back.
