Just press the new download button on the Spotify desktop app to save tracks, albums, and playlists for offline listening.īesides adding the ability to download songs for offline listening, Spotify says it’s “aligning the experience” of its desktop and web apps to match the look and feel of Spotify on mobile, complete with a new, “clean” design and additional controls.įor example, the Search field on desktop and web now sits on the left side of the navigation screen, while top artists and tracks have been added to user profile pages. Spotify Premium costs $10 a month for individuals, or $15 a month for a family plan (which allows for up to six listeners in a household). Amazon allow you to download mp3 files of purchase tracks.As with the mobile version of Spotify, you’ll need to be on a Spotify Premium plan to download tracks, albums, or playlists for offline listening. If you want mp3 files then you will have to purchase the actual albums. You are still subject to the restrictions of your subscription and the app occasionally verifying your rights to listen to the files when you have an internet connection. What you can do is download the tracks (DRM protected) for use while you lack an internet connection. (Whether streaming services pay a "fair" price is a story for another day.) This would not cover the costs associated with paying artists a fair price for their work. Otherwise a significant percentage of users would simply subscribe for one month, find and copy the songs they like and then only occasionally resubscribe to update their catalogue. Spotify is a music streaming service which relies upon each track play being protected so that they cannot be freely copied. Both the free (advertisement supported) and paid services rely on this model.
It is a service for (effectively) renting access to music. Spotify is not a music purchasing service. You have never been able to download mp3s from Spotify.
