I would never believe you if you say, you love to listen to songs and never knew about Spotify. If that is the case, I advise you to start your Spotify music journey today and learn how to download music from Spotify along with us.

About Spotify

• Spotify is one of the most popular audio streaming platforms launched in 2008. Spotify premium users can enjoy ad-free listening and download their favourite songs or podcasts, which are not available in the free version.
• Rather than other audio steaming services, Spotify users can listen to songs in the background in the free versions. A premium account is necessary to enjoy offline listening and a commercial-free version.
• Spotify is currently available in 184 markets, including most of Europe and the Americas, with various services like songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts. All your liked songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts are saved in your library.

Let’s explore some unique features that help the Spotify app sustain at the top of the table.

Crossfade settings for a smooth transition between songs

• This setting is beneficial when you are working out or taking the initiative to play songs on behalf of your friends/family at a party.
• This crossfade functionality perfectly blends songs by alternating the volume simultaneously between the end and start of each song.
• You can decide how long the blend should last, from 1 to 12 seconds.
• To access this facility on the mobile app, adjust the Crossfade slider under the “Playback” option.

Add your Music to the Spotify library

You can easily import local files if you think your media player is more electrifying.

“Profile Name” -> “Settings” -> Scroll to “Local files”. You will have options to choose any folder on your computer.

Modify the Audio Quality

Spotify music offers 4 types of playback audio quality:

1. 24 kbp/s (low)
2. 96 kbp/s (normal)
3. 160 kbp/s (high)
4. 320 kbp/s (elevated)

• Spotify music automatically changes the audio quality based on your network connection. By default, the audio quality will be turned down if you want to save the data and turn it up according to your wish.
• When using an Android device or iPhone, touch on the “Settings-icon” in the top-right corner of the Home screen. Then tap on “Audio Quality” from the given options and select your preferred settings.
• If you’re using the Desktop version of Spotify music, click on your Profile name -> “Settings” and adjust the settings to suit your needs under the Audio Quality header.

#Colloberate with friends on a playlist

You can now invite your friends to join a playlist and add tracks. Anyone in the collaborative can add, remove and reorder tracks.

If you knowingly or unknowingly delete a Spotify playlist, you can recover the Spotify playlist within 90 days by following these steps mentioned by Spotify.

#Group Sessions

Unfortunately, this amazing feature where you can listen to songs with your friends in real-time is only available for premium subscribers. The users can listen from their own devices, synced with their friends’ devices who need not be in the same room.

Accessing this feature is simple. After playing the song, top on “Devices-icon” [with monitor and speaker]. You can invite your friends through the QR Code by clicking on “Start Session” under the option “Start a Group Session.”

For someone to join your session and your music library, select “Scan to Join.”

#Search within playlists

When you’ve got a lot of playlists for different moods and occasions, there will be a time when you want specific songs from Spotify.

If you’re in a playlist now, you can search for certain songs, albums, and artists by pressing Ctrl + F shortcut on your PC and Cmd + F shortcut on MAC. On the Spotify Android app, open your desired playlist and click on the three-dot icon, and select “Find in Playlists.”

A search bar will appear on the Spotify IOS app if you pull down the screen.

The “Create similar playlist” option appears when right-clicked on the playlist. This is one of the fastest ways to create a playlist similar to the existing playlist. Though this only works on your playlist.

#Download Spotify songs for offline mode

The most significant advantage of having a Spotify premium account is downloading Music from Spotify and podcasts directly to your device and listening offline without any internet connection.

Suppose you are new to Spotify music and haven’t tried Spotify premium yet. In that case, there is an excellent premium plan for you that allows you to enjoy the premium feature just like Spotify premium subscribers freely for one to three months.

In India, many premium plans benefit students at an affordable rate.

Is downloading music from Spotify music illegal?

The answer is Negative. Unlike streaming platforms like Rdio, and Soundcloud, downloading music from Spotify is not illegal. However, please restrict the downloaded songs only to personal as it becomes illegal when you try to use them for commercial purposes.

Since music is the cup of wine that fills the cup of Silence, it shouldn’t be restricted only to online but should be accessible to listen to when wi-fi is unavailable.

Enjoy your offline music library!!

I hope we were able to address the issue to its best.
