The Best Ways to Download Spotify Music on Android

With the Spotify app for Android, you get a huge selection of albums, songs, and artists. With Spotify Premium, you can download songs to your Android smartphone and listen without the internet. Additionally, you can change the order of songs in playlists and play any song you like. However, with the free Spotify Free, this is not possible; songs are played in random order.

No matter which subscription you have—if you cancel it, you will lose all your music, including the downloaded ones. Therefore, we'll show you the best ways to permanently save music from Spotify on Android.

Below we show you the different ways you can save Spotify music as files on your Android smartphone.

Method 1: Download Music Directly from the Spotify App
