How to listen to Spotify offline

Spotify is a great music streaming app, but what happens when you run out of data or don’t have an internet connection? Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or simply trying to save data, being able to listen offline can be incredibly useful. Luckily, Spotify has a feature that makes this easy—if you know how to use it.

To listen to Spotify offline, you need to download the music you want while connected to the internet. Once downloaded, you can play it without needing a connection. On Spotify, you can download playlists, albums, or songs directly to your device for offline listening.

Keep in mind that only Spotify Premium users have access to this feature. With a Premium subscription, you can download up to 10,000 songs per device and enjoy them using Offline Mode.

If you want to listen to music offline on Spotify without a Premium subscription, you must download the Spotify Premium APK.

Let us explain in simple terms how to download music on Spotify and listen to it offline on both mobile and desktop.

How to listen to Spotify offline

To listen to Spotify offline, you must download the music first. With a Spotify Premium subscription, you can download albums, playlists, and podcasts for offline listening.

Press the download button (downward arrow) on each playlist to download the playlists. ^{See – How to Download Songs on Spotify}

Once you’ve downloaded the playlist, you must turn on Offline Mode to listen to your downloaded music without an internet connection.
