You can listen without an internet connection and save your mobile data by downloading up to 3,333 songs per device, on a maximum of 3 different devices. Downloading songs, albums or playlists on Spotify is simple. Just switch on 'Download' on an album, playlist, or podcast you want to listen to offline. If you prefer Android over iPhones, then follow the next steps to learn how to download Spotify songs using your cellular data: 1. From Playstore, download or update the Spotify app on your Android device. After downloading the app and making sure that it is running the latest version, open the Spotify app. You can open Spotify either from. To set Spotify up for the best efficiency on a cellular network, you are going to want to configure a few settings. Follow these steps: 1) Launch the Spotify app and tap on the Home tab. 2) Open the Music Quality cell. 3) Set the stream quality to Automatic. 4) Optionally, set the download quality to Very High. With Spotify, you can listen to music and play millions of songs and podcasts for free. Stream music and podcasts you love and find music - or your next favorite song - from all over the world. Discover new music, albums, and podcasts. Search for your favorite song, artist, or podcast. Enjoy music playlists and an unique daily mix made just for you. Make and share your own. If your Android device has an external SD card, you can download Spotify music to it, instead of the device's internal memory. Tip: Make sure your SD card has at least 1GB free space. The storage option only appears if your SD Card is available and accessible. Tap Other, then Storage.

Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

For this, open the Settings app and tap on Wi-Fi. Tap on an available network to connect to it. Similarly, inside the Settings app, tap on Cellular and see to it that the toggle for Cellular Data is enabled. On this screen, let’s further ensure that mobile data isn’t disabled specifically for Spotify. You can log into Spotify on any number of devices by using your account, but only one of these devices is allowed to actively stream music at any one time. However, Premium users can sync up to 3,333 tracks from Spotify’s library for offline listening on up to three different devices (including your computer).

Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.

For: Premium

  1. On desktop, import your local files (with the 'Desktop' steps).
  2. Add the files to a new playlist.
  3. Log in on your mobile or tablet using the same WiFi as your desktop.
  4. Go to Settings > Local Files and switch on Local audio files.
    Note: You need to allow Spotify to find devices in the prompt that shows.
  5. Download the playlist with your local files.
