Spotify is a popular digital music streaming service that gives access to millions of songs, but what happens when you’re away from mobile or internet access and want to play some music? Thankfully, Spotify has a feature called Offline Listening, where users can download their favorite music onto their device so that they can play the songs anytime, anywhere.

1. Launch the Spotify app on your phone.
2. Navigate to the song, album, artist or playlist that you want to download.
3. You need to move the Download toggle button (Below artwork) to ON position. This will instantly start downloading your songs.
The downloading process will take time depending on the size of the file and internet connection speed but should be a rather quick process.
The green color download icon before the song title confirms that the song is downloaded successfully to your phone.

Downloading Spotify songs for offline listening has some caveats
Spotify’s Offline Listening is a premium feature and to access feature users require a subscription which cost $9.99/Month and $14.99 for a family plan. This means users running the freemium version won’t get the advantage of this feature.

Previously, the users with Spotify premium can download up to 3333 songs on each up to three devices, but recently the company ups the limit on offline downloads to a whopping 10,000 songs, that means you can download 10,000 songs on each of up to 5 different devices. So it’s not a caveat anymore.
Keep in Mind: Make sure to take Spotify app online at least once every 30 days. Failure to do so will make your offline song library inaccessible.
