Bonus Tip: How to Export Spotify Playlists to MP3 for Offline Listening

Exporting a text list is great for backups, but what if you want to keep the actual music? By default, Spotify caches tracks within its app for offline listening. However, if you need to play them on hardware that doesn't support the Spotify app, DRmare Spotify Music Converter offers a reliable workaround.

Instead of altering the original app, it acts as an advanced audio recorder. It captures and saves Spotify tracks in high-quality formats (MP3, FLAC, WAV, etc.) for your personal, offline collection. When analyzing the output files with acoustic spectrum tools, I found that DRmare consistently maintains high audio fidelity and preserves ID3 tags perfectly.

Step 1Import Spotify playlist to DRmare

Open DRmare Spotify Music Converter on your computer and you will see a built-in Spotify Web Player. Log into your free Spotify account and find the playlist you want to download. Once found, drag and drop it to the '+' icon and click the 'Add to List' button to load them to the conversion queue.

Step 2Alter output settings for Spotify playlists

Click on the 'Menu' icon (three lines) and choose 'Preferences' from the pop-up options. Then you need to tap the 'Conversion' option and you can start to change audio format, bit rate and more for Spotify playlists. After that, click on 'OK'.

Step 3Download and export Spotify playliststo MP3

Hit on the 'Convert' button to start downloading Spotify music to your computer. After that, you can find the files in the 'Converted' section on the DRmare program. You can check them on your computer as well. At last, you can put Spotify playlists on any device for playing offline with ease. You can also backup Spotify playlist on other external storage device forever.

To Sum Up

Exporting your Spotify playlists to a text file is a smart way to catalog your library. You can rely on Spotify's official "Download your data" tool for a free, comprehensive JSON backup (though it requires a 5-day wait), or utilize fast third-party web tools like Exportify, Spotlistr, Soundiiz, and TuneMyMusic for instant TXT generation.

However, if you want to elevate your backup strategy from simple text strings to actual, playable music, desktop software like DRmare Spotify Music Converter works perfectly. You can listen to Spotify music offline without Premium anytime and anywhere and share your Spotify playlists with others who don't have access to the Spotify app.
