One of the benefits of Spotify Premium is that users can download their favorite songs, playlists, and podcasts for offline listening.
If you’re going on a long journey in an airplane or heading to an area with spotty internet, downloading song to use as a soundtrack will help you create a seamless listening experience.
Though Spotify doesn’t allow users to download individual songs from playlists, it is pretty easy to quickly create a playlist with all your favorite tracks and download them together for offline listening.
Here’s how:
- 5 minutes
- Spotify App
- internet connection
- phone or laptop
Step 1:
Open the Spotify app on your phone or laptop and log into your Spotify Premium account. It is currently priced at $9.99/month.

Step 5:
Then go back to the app’s main screen and click on Your Library at the lower right corner of the screen. Click on the playlist you just made and then press the download button which looks like a down pointing arrow enclosed in a circle.

That’s all you need to do to download tracks for offline playback. If you want to download entire albums, there is no need to create a separate playlist. Just click on the download button beneath the album cover to download it. The same process works for podcasts.
Use this quick and easy procedure for a breezy music listening experience no matter where you go on this planet.
