How to Download Music from Spotify to Computer. If you have subscribed Premium, you'll be able to download Spotify songs, playlists, albums and podcasts and then listen to them without Internent connection. If you don't have Premium, we also offer you an easy way to do download Spotify music to your desktop. If that option isn't there you would either need a different app to download through that has that option, use the phone's file manager app to move the files from the phone to the SD card or do as reedo43 suggested and connect the phone to a computer via USB cord and move the files using the computer.
Since Spotify’s latest (0.5.3.56) update, premium users on Android are not able store their offline music onto their external SD cards, which is a bit of a nightmare considering the limited capacity of standard internal storage of phones. I recently bought a Galaxy Note 2 and had been storing the music on the phone until today I realised I was running dangerously out of space.
Julian Young asked Spotify for an official comment and the response he received:
Yes you are right the new App does not support external SD cards and only focuses on internal systems. I am very sorry that your needs are not covered by this and I will happily forward your request to our development team.
We do everything to provide the best possible service to our customers and aim to cover all demands and needs. I would also like to thank you for bringing this to us because it will support our development cycle.
However, on the same page and on various other sites including the official Spotify community, there are instructions on a workaround to this issue which I have successfully managed to implement. The following are the steps I took to accomplish this, so if you’re also looking to store your Spotify music on your external SD card, give it a go. It’s really straight forward and took me less than 5 mins in total.
- Uninstall the Spotify app from your phone
- Install an earlier version of Spotify – there are several online, but I used this one from Android Drawer
- Start the app but don’t login
- Select the SD location from your Android’s Menu button and locate your external SD card*
- Save and close (Some sites instruct you to log in and make one playlist available offline before closing down the app, but the app kept crashing on me).
- Go to Play Store, and update Spotify app
- Your offline playlists will now be stored on the external SD card while rocking the latest Spotify Android app!
