How to Download Spotify Songs to MP3

Spotify is the ultimate online music library, with over 80 million songs. You can listen to any song online by streaming them on Spotify. You can download and listen to songs offline with a premium subscription. But you cannot transfer the downloaded songs from Spotify to another device and play them offline. The downloaded songs are neither in MP3 format nor compatible with music players beyond Spotify.

Instead, they are DRM-protected to prevent their circulation in offline mode by being incompatible outside Spotify. However, you can still download Spotify songs in MP3 format and transfer them to your USB drive to play on any audio device smoothly. We will illustrate five ways to download songs from Spotify to MP3 in simple steps.
