- NoteBurner Spotify Music Converter supports both Windows and Mac OS. Here we will take Windows version as an example to guide you to download music from Spotify Free so that you can listen to the songs on Spotify Free without wifi or burning data.
- Despite tons of competitors, Spotify remains a big shot when it comes to music apps without Wi-Fi. Without a doubt, it is the easiest to use, coolest and the best music app around. Spotify supports many file formats. Some include Podcast, digital comics as well as music.
- In Spotify, you can mark selected playlists and sync them to your computer or mobile device for offline listening. Yes, you need to be online in order to sync the tracks in the first place, but after they copy over, they’re available for you to listen to, even if you don’t have a live Internet connection.
- Overall, Spotify Premium, which you need to subscribe to in order to download any music (the free plan doesn't allow offline playback), will let you download a total of 3,333 songs per device on a total of.
You can download songs from Spotify and listen to your music without an internet connection if you have a subscription to Spotify Premium. Spotify Premium is $9.99 per month for an individual plan. Spotify lets you save up to 3,333 songs for offline listening. (That should be enough, no?) By default, it only allows you to download when you’re on WiFi, but you can change that if you want to download via your network, by going to Settings Download Using Cellular. When you’re ready to download.
I have a Spotify Premium account. The price is $10 a month, but it gives you some pretty nice features:
- play any song any time you want. Skip or repeat songs as often as you like.
- no ads, no commercials, no interruptions. Just your music until you stop it.
- simple song discovery and playlist creation. Find a song, add it to a list, then listen. NO SYNCING!
- kiss corporate radio, heavy rotation, and endless Las Vegas concert ads goodbye (!!!)
Those are nice, but the KILLER feature of Spotify’s Premium plan is the Listen Offline function. Streaming music can put a serious dent in your phone data plan if you don’t have an unlimited plan. Here is how you can enjoy Spotify music using no data from your phone data plan:
Download Spotify Songs Without Wifi
1. First, connect your phone to a wifi connection. You probably have access at home, work, school, hotels, or hotspots.
2. Next, disable Cellular access to Spotify on your phone. On an iPhone, go to your “Settings / Cellular” page. Scroll down to the Spotify app and disable the slider (set to white, not green):
3. Now when you start the Spotify app on your phone, Spotify will nag you with this pop up warning:
That’s good. That message lets you know that you are only using wifi data with your Spotify app. No more data plan usage!
Spotify No Wifi
4. Now, when you have a wifi connection, you can use Spotify as usual and stream whatever music you want. That’s great, but what if a wifi connection isn’t available (like at my gym)? That’s where Spotify’s Listen Offline function comes in. On your phone in your Spotify app, go to the top of a playlist and flip the “Available Offline” switch to green, like this:
Using Spotify Without Wifi
The Spotify app will then download all of the songs in that playlist to your phone. Those songs and the playlist will be available for you to listen to any time you want even when you don’t have a cellular or wifi connection. You can do this for any of your playlists. This is pretty handy if you want to have many playlists for different occasions (e.g. running, working out, driving, relaxing, etc.)
For example: my son has an old iPhone 3 with no sim card in it. He uses the Spotify app on his phone via wifi and downloads all of his favorite songs and playlists to it. When we go on trips, he is set with music for hours. When we get to the hotel, he connects back up to wifi, finds more songs, creates more playlists, and does it all again.
