Spotify is one of the main streaming music services and it hardly needs an introduction because we all know how it works and we have all used it at some time. The music application allows us to listen to thousands of songs, albums, or artists that are available on the platform, whether we pay or bet on the free version. But there is something you may not know: you can download Spotify music in MP3 and use them on your mobile phone or your computer, use them as a ringtone or to add to your own home videos, to listen to them offline, etc.
One of the options that Spotify allows is to bet on a premium account that lets us download Spotify songs to listen to them offline, without the need for coverage or Internet connection. Only for users who pay the monthly subscription. But beyond this online option, you can download Spotify music in MP3 from your computer to have the files whenever and wherever you want. We explain how.
Download music on Spotify App
If you are a premium user of Spotify, you can choose where the songs or playlists are saved to listen to them offline. This does not mean saving them in MP3 but the app stores the files on your mobile or your computer and when you are not connected to the Internet you can access Spotify itself and play those songs. This way you will also save data even if you have an Internet connection because they will be stored locally and you will not be playing them in streaming.
To download songs , it is very easy. In addition, they are the same steps if you want to do it in the desktop app for your computer or for mobile phones and tablets:
Open your Spotify app
Choose the song you want and add it to your playlist
Go to your library
Click on the playlist you want
Tap on the button in the upper right corner
You will activate the download
Wait some minutes
The entire list will automatically become available offline
To deactivate the download again, you just have to follow the same steps and tap on the same button when you no longer want that list offline because it takes up space or because you simply are not interested in having it on your mobile phone.
Another thing that Spotify allows you on your phone is to choose if you want to store the songs on the SD card so that it does not take up space in the internal memory:
Open your Spotify app
Go to the upper right corner, settings
You will see the configuration section
Scroll to the end
Click on “Storage”
Choose from storage options
SD card
Device storage
This way you will be able to save your songs but that does not mean that you can download music in Spotify in MP3 because you will not be able to use the files in a way other than the program. That is, you could not send or use them as a tone or in videos, etc.

Download Spotify Music with Allavsoft
We can also use another program called Allavsoft to download to MP3 format.
We simply go to its download website and select the free version. Once this is done, we install and program and we can start downloading the music that we like the most from Spotify.
The operation is very simple, we just need to copy the Spotify URL (track, album, or playlist) to the program interface and click Download. When you run it for the first time, it will ask for your Spotify login info (Spotify free account will work the same). Once we have done this, we will decide which songs we want to download and click on Done.
Now we choose the output format, the quality, the conversion mode and the folder that we want. We can choose between MP3, AAC, FLAC or WAV formats and reach a maximum quality of 320 Kbps.
Now you just have to click on Convert to start downloading the music from Spotify, and after observing how each file is saved in the format and folder that we have selected.
It is another very easy and simple way to have the best Spotify music on our computer in the format we want, to be able to load it on a player or on the smartphone, to give you two examples. Now we just have to enjoy our favorite songs.
