By upgrading to Premium plan ($9.99 a month), you are able to download Spotify songs for free. If you have not subscribed to Spoitfy yet and want to download songs from Spotify for offline playback, what should do?Īpart from skipping any Ad, playing any track and enjoying a higher quality audio, the most attractive feature for subscribing to Premium plan is saving music for offline listening function. That means, 86 millions of Spotify free users are wasting their mobile data to enjoy Spotify music, although Spotify is free for everyone. Until Jan, 2018, Spotify reported to have 157 million active users, of which 70 million were paying Spotify subscribers. Spotify offers an option to download Spotify songs for offline listening, but it is only available for Premium subscribers.

You may question “ why not turn on offline mode in Spotify?” Indeed, yes. If you want to stop Spotify from ever streaming anything, so you avoid accidental data drains, you need to put it in Offline Mode.It is not surprising that you could easily rack up a several hundred dollar phone bill by listening to a playlist or two on Spotify, especially if you happen to be roaming at that time. While just downloading the songs you listen to most often for offline listening will go a long way towards cutting your data usage, anything you haven’t downloaded will still stream over mobile data.

Turn On Offline Mode to Avoid Streaming Altogether Now whenever you play any of the songs you’ve saved-in my case, anything off Twisted Sister’s masterpiece, A Twisted Christmas-it will play from your phone rather than streaming over mobile data. If you want to delete the songs from your phone, just tap the Downloaded toggle again.

Once the songs are saved, you’ll see a little green arrow next to them to show it. Tap it and the album or playlist will save to your phone. As long as you’re a Premium Subscriber, you’ll see a toggle that says Download. Open Spotify and head to the album or playlist you want to save for offline listening. Strangely, there’s no way to download individual songs you have to download either albums or playlists.
