If you are not sure how to save Spotify songs to Android, please check this guide out. We'll show you three proven methods to download and transfer Spotify music to an Android phone.

On your phone right now? Go straight to Method 2 and save Spotify songs as local files without a computer. If you want the files on a PC or Mac first, see Method 3.

Method 1 Download Songs on the Spotify Mobile App (For Spotify Premium)

Below are the steps for downloading music on the Spotify mobile app.

Step 1: Open the Spotify app on your mobile device.

Step 2: Open the Spotify playlists or albums you want to download offline.

Step 3: Tap the Download button on the top left, and then you'll see the download progress in the green arrow.

Step 4: Tap the "Library" icon at the bottom of the panel. Then select "Playlists," "Albums," or "Songs", where you can find your downloaded content.

Note: Spotify's offline downloads stay inside the Spotify app. They aren't regular MP3 files you can browse, copy, or move to another device. Spotify Free users also need Premium before the download option becomes available.

Download limits: Spotify Premium supports up to 10,000 downloaded tracks on each of up to 5 devices. You also need to go online with the app at least once every 30 days to keep your downloads available.
