Currently no user has reported their account getting banned after using Zotify.
It is recommended you use Zotify with a burner account.
Alternatively, there is a configuration option labeled DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME, this limits the download speed to the duration of the song being downloaded thus appearing less suspicious.
This option is much slower and is only recommended for premium users who wish to download songs in 320kbps without buying premium on a burner account.
