Part 1. How to Download Music from Spotify to Computer with Premium
There are three tiers you can choose from to access over 50 million songs via the Spotify app or its web player. They are Spotify Free, Spotify Premium ($9.99 every month), as well as Spotify Family ($14.99 per month). When you update one of the premium plans, Spotify gives you permission of downloading Spotify music to PC.
It's worth mentioning that Spotify doesn't allow you to download individual songs directly. It's necessary to create a new playlist for storing your individual songs. Anyway, the operation process is easy to perform. Let's see how to download music from Spotify to computer with Premium.
Step 1. Open the Spotify app on your PC or Mac and log into your Premium account details.
Step 2. Please create a new playlist to add individual songs. Or you can directly find your favorite playlists that you'd like to download to your computer.
Step 3. Tap the playlist, you will see there is a 'Download' icon. Just switch it to the right so that the toggle turns green.

Step 4. Now, Spotify playlists will be downloaded to your computer immediately and automatically.
Where to Find Spotify Music Downloads on Computer
Spotify is different from other streaming music services. You can easily locate and distribute the songs downloaded from other platforms. But there is not a direct option to locate downloaded Spotify tracks with a Premium account.
Downloaded Spotify tracks are cache files with encryption. Here, we will take PC as an example to explain how to find Spotify music downloads on your computer.
- Step 1. Launch Spotify desktop client.
- Step 2. Go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Offline Songs Storage.
- Step 3. You will be able to check the location where your songs downloaded. In general, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage is the default location.
- Step 3. Go to the folder, you will find the encrypted Spotify cache files.

Notes: Because Spotify songs are cache files, you can transfer them to other devices. Besides, you even can't use other music players on your computer to play them. Once you cancel Spotify Premium, downloaded Spotify files will disappear from your computer.
