Spotify has gained immense popularity as a leading music streaming platform, providing users with access to millions of songs from various genres. One of the standout features of Spotify is the ability to listen to music offline, allowing premium users to enjoy their favorite tracks even without an internet connection. However, for those who are not subscribed to the premium service, this feature is unavailable and limited to online streaming only. But fear not, as this article aims to present an opportunity for Spotify free users to download and listen to Spotify songs offline without premium.
One of the key advantages of being a Spotify Premium user is the ability to enjoy offline listening by downloading songs. With Spotify Premium, the power to curate your own personalized offline music library is at your fingertips, providing a seamless and convenient listening experience.
Before you can go offline, you'll need to download the music beforehands so that it's available without an internet connection. Now let’s see more details:
Step 1 Go to the playlist you want to download.
Step 2 Switch Download on, when you see a small green arrow, it means that the download has been completed successfully.
How to enable the Offline Mode? Just open Spotify, click File in the Windows menu at the top of the screen, and select Offline Mode.
* If you are a Mac user, click Spotify in the Apple menu at the top of the screen and select Offline Mode.
Step 1 Go to the playlist, album, or podcast you want to download.
Step 2 Tap the down-arrow icon to download.
On Android, tap Download to download an album or playlist. When you see a green down arrow, it means that the download has been completed successfully.
To make sure you enjoy Spotify without using your data, you can simply enable the Spotify offline mode. Just navigate to Your Library, Settings, Playback, and enable Offline.
If you’d like to download Spotify music without limits, you can move to Part 2, which also works for Spotify Premium subscribers. In Part 2, you'll unlock a whole new level of convenience and flexibility. With unlimited downloads, you can build an extensive library of songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.
