It's a good way to enjoy this music without consuming mobile data. A feature that is of interest to many users on Spotify. Therefore, we show you below the steps we have to follow to download music in the popular streaming application.
Choose location
One aspect that is advisable to carry out in the first case is choose the location to download said music. Spotify lets us choose in this case, especially if we have a microSD card in the phone, which will allow us not to consume space in the phone's memory. It can be convenient in the case that we have plans to download many songs on the phone thanks to this function.

When we have done this, we are ready for the next step, which is to download the songs. We are likely to download many songs from Spotify, entire discs. When it comes to doing this, it is best to use WiFi on the phone, because if you do not have an unlimited mobile data rate, data consumption can be high in this sense. So it is better to avoid risks, activating the WiFi better in these downloads, especially if many are going to be done.
