I can't see any explanations leaping out in those readmes either, any idea how they work?

As far as I can tell they spoof an official client playing the song and then download the file instead.

Wow, I'm surprised that works; I'd have thought the likes of Spotify would encrypt or otherwise obfuscate the files to stop you from just downloading them
