How to Save Spotify Songs to Computer

[Summary]: Spotify allows Premium subscribers to download Spotify music to computer for offline listening during subscription. This article will guide you how to download songs and playlist from Spotify without Premium and save Spotify songs to local computer forever without subscription.

“Recently I joined the Spotify Premium plan. I’ve download some songs from Spotify on my Windows computer. However, I can’t transfer them to my Sony Walkman MP3 player. My friend told me that they are cached files. Sad. How do I save Spotify songs to computer as local files?”

Spotify is one of the biggest music streaming services in the world. Unlike its competitor Apple Music, Spotify offers Free and Premium plan (costs $9.99 per month). Also, it offers Spotify Family Plan (up to 6 premium accounts) at $15.99/month. Spotify gives its Free and Premium users ability to discover, manage and share over 70 million tracks on their mobile devices and computer through Spotify app. If you have a smooth and stable network or Wi-Fi connection, then you are able to listen to Spotify music everywhere! In addition, if you upgrade to Premium plan, you are able to download music from Spotify to computer or mobile devices for offline listening. But this does not mean that you can save Spotify songs to your computer forever.

Generally, when you download songs from Spotify, they will be saved in C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage. However, you don’t actually own the downloaded Spotify music because all the downloaded Spotify music files are cached files, not real songs.
