“How can I convert Spotify music to MP3 format? I’m looking for a way to import Spotify downloads to my MP3 player for normal playback.

It's an easy process to download Spotify music to MP3. We can export Spotify songs as MP3 files in 5 simple steps!
This article would be divided into three parts. To begin with, we’ll explain why we can’t directly export Spotify downloads as MP3 files, then we’ll continue by showing you the best way to convert Spotify music to MP3. Finally, we’ll provide you with a detailed guide on how to convert Spotify songs to MP3 step by step.
Spotify offers two types of subscriptions – Free & Premium.
Spotify Free is available to anyone at no cost, but it’s supported by ads. The drawback of the free service is that there are fewer features and more restrictions on the music you can play. For example, with a Free subscription, you can't save playlists for offline listening.
Spotify Premium allows users to download ad-free Spotify music for offline streaming, offers unlimited skips, and features higher-quality audio. Typically, it costs $9.99 (£9.99, AU$ 11.99) per month. However, though Spotify Premium subscribers can download music from Spotify for offline listening, it’s impossible to directly save Spotify downloads as MP3 files.
Spotify is a music streaming service offering some kind of rental service. You need to subscribe to the service continuously to access Spotify music. Once you discontinue the service, you’ll lose all access to the platform. In other words, you don’t own the music files.
Even though Spotify Premium subscribers are allowed to download music from Spotify for offline streaming, Spotify downloads are not saved in a regular format. If you locate the Spotify downloads, you’ll find that they are cache files protected in an encrypted format.
Spotify downloads are restricted to being played within the Spotify app and can’t be exported for use on any other device.
It’s not difficult to locate where the downloaded Spotify songs are stored on the local drive, but they may be useless for you even if you find them at last. To check the location, you can simply open Spotify, and go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Offline Songs Storage.
As it’s impossible to directly save Spotify songs as MP3 files, we need a third-party tool to do the job. Google Spotify Music Converter and you’ll get millions of results. We can conclude all those tools into two categories. One doesn’t require the Spotify app to be installed while the other one does, typically represented by TunePat Spotify Music Converter and Sidify Music Converter.
TunePat Spotify Music Converter is designed with a built-in Spotify Web Player. You need to log in to your Spotify account when you run the program for the first time. Sidify Music Converter works with the Spotify app. Once you launch Sidify, the Spotify app would be opened automatically. You can then simply drag and drop a playlist from Spotify to Sidify and export them as MP3 files.
Though both TunePat and Sidify can be used to convert Spotify music to MP3, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, or ALAC, Sidify Music Converter is more popular among Spotify users. From one point of view, it’s more user-friendly, and from another, it retains higher audio quality (up to 320kbps).
