Mrs Travis is doing some work at a local preschool and she has to do some dance and stuff with the little kiddies.
She has a list of songs on Spotify but the problem is the school rules don't allow any
devices with a camera on them to be taken into the class for safeguarding reasons.
We only use Spotify these days and have no old ipods that work.
If I buy a USB or cheapy mp3 player for her, where can I get free music to put on it? And what program should I use to transfer bearing in mind I have a Mac which might make life harder
Thanks in advance chaps

1) d/l the songs you want from YouTube
A google of save from you tube will give you some online tube-->mp3 rippers
2) copy the mp3s to a USB
3) play the USB
Ive "heard" you could use nerds.de LoopBeAudio driver to allow you to route spotify output to that virtual soundcard and loop it back into an input that Audacity or such like could use to record. Works well, or so Ive heard...
Ah, but its windows only, theres no way Apple will let you get around any restrictions of their 'ecosystem'

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Then buy something like A Sandisk Clip Jam for £25 on Youtube. Connect via USB to Mac. Drag and drop the folder from Mac to Sandisk. In the files option, you can play specific folders which is how I use it rather than playlists or any of that shite.
You don't need it. I run an SPL Crimson USB audio interface. WIth Audacity, it's just a case of settings the input to SPL Speaker output. Play the audio I want, record in Audacity as usual, save the end file when recording has been finished. Simple. I'll go through the method properly tomorrow as I have a vomit-threatening child in my bed at the minute so the PC is off and I am forced out onto the sofa tonight with the Chromebook.

Thanks @heartfeltdawn, Found it!
Choose Windows WASAPI as the Host sound method, and you can then select any output - Much appreciated!

Cheers for the heads up on this.
I've wanted to be able to record straight from the computer for ages, tried a few things which didn't work.
Audacity does.
As mentioned above, needed to change the input to WASAPI but works a treat.
