Two Ways to Download Spotify Music to Mac

Part 1. Download Spotify music on Mac with Premium

Please make sure your Mac computer is under an internet connection. And then, you can refer to the following steps. Remember, you can’t directly download Spotify songs and albums except for playlists. You need to either move albums and songs to specific playlists (you can create as many as you want) or like songs using the heart icon and then download the automatic Liked Songs playlist.

Step 1. Open the Spotify app on Mac, and log into your Spotify account. It must be a Premium account and it's not expired.

Step 2. Choose the playlist or album that you'd like to download. On the upper right corner of the Spotify playlist, tap the option of Download so that the toggle turns green.

Step 3. When the downloading is finished, this button will become Downloaded. At this time, you can access them in offline mode.

If you have already downloaded music from Spotify to Mac, you will find that all these files are cache tracks. They are encrypted in protected formats, so you can only play them on those devices compatible with Spotify. In other words, you can't locate and transfer them to other devices for offline playback.

Part 2. Download & Store Spotify Music Locally on Mac without Premium
