How to download Spotify songs to listen offline

Spotify is one of the online music streaming services chosen by many people, bringing you a rich music store on many different topics. We will have new songs from domestic and foreign artists as soon as possible. Besides, Spotify also supports playing music offline on the computer, retrieving music sources stored in the computer folder. At that time, the computer does not need to connect to the Internet or WiFi to still listen to music.

While using Spotify to listen to music, there will be many good songs that you want to save to your computer to listen to again. By default, Spotify does not have the option to download music, but we must use external tools to support it. The article below will guide readers to download music on Spotify.

1. How to download Spotify songs to listen offline

You can download music (and podcasts) from Spotify on both the mobile and desktop apps (but not on Spotify Web Player). Here's how:

How to download music on Spotify to your mobile phone

Open the Spotify app on your phone and find the song, album or playlist you want to download for offline listening.

Note: To download individual songs, you'll first need to add the song to a playlist. The simplest way is to add it to your Liked Songs by clicking the + icon while playing the song. Or you can create a Spotify playlist and add songs to it manually.

To download an album or playlist, search for the album or playlist you want to listen to offline, click the album or playlist, then find the Download button (down arrow in a circle). This section is above the song list, to the left of the Play button.

How to download music on Spotify to the desktop

1. Open the Spotify app on your computer and make sure you're signed in.
2. Navigate to the album or playlist you want to download and click the Download button (the down arrow is on the same line as the Play button).

Note: Unlike songs, you can download individual podcasts for offline listening. So search for the podcast you want to listen to and select it to display the list of episodes. You will see a Download button in the lower left corner of each episode. Just click it to download the episode and listen to your favorite podcast.

How to find everything you've downloaded on Spotify

After downloading some content, you need to know where to find it. Here's how to find everything you've downloaded on Spotify:

1. Open the Spotify app on your device and click Your Library.
2. Scroll through the options until you find Downloaded.
3. Click that to display a complete list of everything you've downloaded on Spotify.

If you've downloaded a lot of content, you can sort your downloads in a number of ways to help you find what you're looking for.

By default, your downloads are sorted by most recent access. But if you click Recents, you can sort by Recently Added, Alphabetical, or Creator.

No matter what device you're using, the album, playlist or podcast you downloaded will now be available for offline listening.
