Deezer's encryption has been reverse engineered a few years ago and given rise to lots of scripts for ripping music from the platform. Interestingly it's even possible to download and decrypt lossless files like that without having the subscription you'd normally need to access the higher quality audio.


Even more interesting on Deezer - Deezer Has a New Message for App Pirates — ‘We’re Not Going to Stop You’ https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2020/10/26/deezer-pirate-ap...


Looks like they pretty much care after all: https://fuwafuwa.moe/transparency/git.fuwafuwa.moe/001.2020-...


Deezer has to do some sort of enforcement due to Laches doctrine. But it's pretty halfhearted compared to others.


Grooveshark's was a beauty as well: xor 0x25

Wrote a blog post about it back in the day, for those wondering how to break (super easy) encryption: https://lgms.nl/blog-1-plain
