How to download music on Spotify

Spotify It is today one of the most used streaming music services worldwide, along with Apple Music, and in which they offer us a huge number of songs and complete albums with which to enjoy music, at any time and place.

Many are the users who ask us daily how to download music on Sportify, with which we have opted to explain it in this tutorial in which we will explain everything or almost everything in detail. Of course, we already warned you that downloading music on this service is not as you imagine it, but that you can download it in a very particular way.

What is Spotify?

Before explaining how to download music on Spotify, you have to understand this music service that has a free version, available to any user and a paid version with which we can squeeze the service to unsuspected limits. It is currently available on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Windows Phone, Symbian, iOS, Android and BlackBerry operating systems (cross-platform).

In the first place we must make it clear that with both versions we can listen to music, although with the free version we will have to listen to ads every so often and we will also have to play, for example an album, randomly, without being able to choose the song we want to listen to every moment. The paid version offers us a greater number of options, and for example we will not have to listen to ads, we can choose the songs to our liking and we can also download music, although with some restrictions.

Today there are several promotions to start on Spotify, although the normal price of the service is 9.99 euros, being available a family plan that has a price of 14.99 euros and that will allow access to up to 6 users. If you have never used Spotify, you have the possibility of being able to try the full service for free for a month, and in addition to continuing to use it for only 0.99 euros for 3 months. From that moment on, you will be forced to pay the normal price for the service, something that you shouldn't think about for too long if you enjoy music for hours every day. If you listen to music in isolation, you may have enough with the free service, having to listen to the occasional ad from time to time.

How to download music on Spotify

Downloading music on Spotify is not what you imagine and we will explain the reasons. First of all, you must have a premium Spotify account to be able to download music or rather to have it accessible without connection to the network of networks. This of course has a price, normally 9.99 euros, although today there are many promotions that you can benefit from to access the music service in a cheaper way.

The difference between these two terms is that downloading music means that you can save it on your mobile device or hard drive to use it at any time, listening to it or sending it to a friend. Downloading music on Spotify, assumes that you will have it in the service itself available to listen to anytime, anywhereeven when you don't have an internet connection, but you won't be able to use it for anything else.

Second, we are going to explain how to download music. To do this, you will have to look for the song, the album or even the playlist that you want to download to have it accessible at any time. This will mean that if you download it on your smartphone, you will be able to listen to it when you do not have a connection to the network of networks or when you do not want to consume the data of your mobile rate, which we usually need so much at the end of the month. As you can see in the image that we show you below, you should see an option that is "Download" that you will have to actuate to download;

Once you download the chosen content, you will have it available at any time and place in your library. Of course, keep in mind that if at any time you stop paying the monthly Spotify subscription you will lose access to your downloaded music. Also and we are sorry to be the ones to tell you, but all the downloads you make on Spotify will not be able to be played in any other program and will also occupy the storage space of your mobile device. If you have, for example, a terminal with little storage capacity, the music that you can download will be limited and the downloads do not take up exactly little space.

Download music on Spotify yes, but no

Spotify is undoubtedly one of the best streaming music services available, although unfortunately it is not the best way to download music, firstly because it will cost you money to download music, something that almost no one likes, and secondly because downloading music is not how we would all like it since it is only available from the music service and not in a "free" way.

Of course, by subscribing to Spotify and downloading the music with the method they propose, we will be within the law, also helping both artists and the world of music in general. Downloading music illegally only contributes to destroying the world of music and helping us to soon run out of musicians and Spotify.

Spotify is not the best way to download music, but it is the best way to enjoy music anytime, anywhere, and also for very little money.

Would you like Spotify to offer another method of downloading music, for example being able to make it available in other ways?. Tell us your opinion in the space reserved for comments on this post or through any of the social networks in which we are present. We also encourage you to tell us if you are subscribed to Spotify, paying the 9.99 euros it is worth per month, and if you usually download music or prefer to listen to it online without downloading.
