Tired of not being able to listen to your favorite tracks when you don’t have an internet connection? Did you know that Spotify allows you to download up to 10,000 tracks for offline listening, but only for Premium subscribers? If not, don’t panic, we’ll explain how to prepare your downloads, activate offline mode and manage your tracks so you can enjoy your music anywhere, anytime.
Preparing for offline listening on Spotify
To listen to your favorite tracks without a connection, first prepare your downloads. Select the tracks or playlists you want and download them to your device.
💡To lighten the cost of your Spotify Premium subscription, you can join a Spotify subscription sharing group via the Sharesub platform. This secure and legal solution allows you to share a digital subscription with complete peace of mind, giving you the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a premium subscription at a lower cost.
To download tracks from Spotify, you must first be a Spotify Premium subscriber. Once you are, follow these simple steps:
- Create or select a playlist
You can either create a new one, choose an existing list or even an album you like.
- Press the “Download” button
Once in the playlist or album, look for the download icon (represented by a downward arrow). Click on it. The tracks will start downloading immediately. You’ll know the download is complete when the arrow turns green.
- Prefer Wi-Fi
To avoid consuming too much mobile data, we recommend downloading your tracks via a Wi-Fi connection. You can also configure Spotify to download only via Wi-Fi by going to the application settings.
It’s as simple as that. Once you’ve downloaded the tracks, you can listen to them without an internet connection, wherever you are. Just make sure you connect to Spotify at least once every 30 days to keep your downloads active.
Managing downloads on Spotify
Access your library to manage your Spotify downloads. Here you’ll find all the tracks, albums and playlists you’ve downloaded. A green arrow next to each item indicates that the download is complete.
If you need to free up space on your device, you can delete downloads. To do this, go to the playlist or album, click on the green download button and confirm the deletion. It’s quick and efficient.
To avoid any unpleasant surprises, connect to the Internet at least once every 30 days. This keeps your downloads active. Otherwise, you run the risk of seeing your titles disappear.
Now you’ve got everything you need to manage your Spotify downloads like a pro.
Activate offline mode
Activating offline mode on Spotify is very simple. Once you’ve downloaded your favorite tracks, head for the library. There, access the settings. In this section, look for the “Offline mode” option and activate it. That’s it!
Why do all this? Well, once activated, this mode allows you to play only the ones you’ve downloaded, without using your mobile data. That’s really convenient. No need to worry about your Internet connection failing or your data costs skyrocketing.
And if you really want to fine-tune your experience, you can also adjust the sound quality in the preferences. Choose between “high” or “very high” depending on your tastes and your device’s storage capacity.
Spotify download terms and conditions
To enjoy offline music on Spotify, there are a few rules to know. Only Premium subscribers can download tracks, with a limit of 10,000 tracks per device, on a maximum of 5 devices. This means you can have up to 50,000 tracks offline. That’s more than enough for most users, even the most music-loving.
Another crucial point: to keep your downloads active, you need to reconnect to Spotify at least once every 30 days. Otherwise, your downloaded tracks will disappear. This ensures that you’re always an active subscriber.
Finally, don’t forget that downloads are linked to your account. If you change your account or your subscription expires, you’ll lose access to your downloaded tracks. So make sure you maintain your subscription and reconnect regularly to enjoy your offline music without interruption.
