How to Put Music on SanDisk MP3 Player from Spotify

Part 1. What You'll Need to Download Spotify Songs and Playlists to SanDisk

Spotify Premium subscribers have the option to download songs and playlists for offline listening. Why can't SanDisk use these Spotify downloads? The reason for this hurdle lies in Spotify's digital rights management (DRM) and proprietary audio format. Spotify's downloaded music files are encrypted in Ogg Vorbis format. This prevents direct transfer to devices not authorized by Spotify, including SanDisk MP3 players.

So, how can you bridge this gap and add your Spotify music to your SanDisk MP3 player? SanDisk MP3 players can support adding local files encoded in MP3, WAV, AAC, and WMA. The solution involves converting Spotify music into a format compatible with your device. Here are the tools you'll need to achieve this:

• DRmare Spotify Music Converter: It can easily remove the DRM from Spotify and convert the songs into a universally compatible format like MP3.

• SanDisk MP3 Player: Your device, such as a SanDisk Clip Sport, Clip Jam, Clip Sport Plus, Clip Sport Go, or Clip Voice.
• USB Cable: To connect your SanDisk MP3 player to your computer.
• A Computer (Windows or Mac): You'll need a computer to run the Spotify music converter software.
• Spotify Account: Both Free and Premium Spotify accounts can typically be used with these converters. While Premium allows for offline downloads within the Spotify app, the converter bypasses this limitation to create playable files for your SanDisk MP3 player.
