Now, create a new folder and name it anything you want. As you can see, it is pretty easy to find the Spotify offline download folder and change the offline download folder. Hope that helps.

If you find the downloaded Spotify songs in the local files, you will find that they are encrypted in Ogg Vorbis files and readable in the Spotify app only, as mentioned in the article. However, if you remove DRM protection via a third-party tool like AudFree Spotify music converter, then you will be able to back up your Spotify songs or playlists when Spotify Premium expires, and keep them forever.
With Spotify Premium you can set music to be available "offline" but it's not the same as downloading music in the traditional sense. For example, you can't try to game the system by downloading an album then cancelling your subscription at a later date.
And you can't download the tracks to burn them to a CD or copy them to other devices. The idea of Spotify's offline mode is to allow you to have access to your favourite music when you're trying to save mobile data or travelling somewhere where access to the internet might not be easy. With Spotify Premium you can have up to 10, songs available to listen to offline on up to five different devices.
Downloading songs, albums or playlists on Spotify is simple too, which is great. Just switch the toggle next to Download on the album you'd like to download to listen offline. Alternatively, click the three dots in the top right and click "Download".
The amount of data that Spotify burns through will depend on the streaming quality you choose - more on this in a minute. This is a rough guide for how much data Spotify will get through:. You can check and change the quality of streaming and download of songs using mobile data in the settings on your device. There are four different levels of streaming quality for Spotify. Streaming is all done in the Ogg Vorbis format and uses the following bitrates for each of the quality levels:.
The quality level you use will depend on your preference and choices around data usage but it's worth noting that Very High is only available to Spotify Premium subscribers. Signing up to Spotify with Facebook or connecting your Facebook account at a later date will allow you to easily find and follow friends and see what they're listening to.
The activity feed is displayed on the right-hand side of the desktop software and is a great way to pick up on friends who listen to the same music as you or poke fun at them for their latest ABBA session.
You can also use the search function within the app to find friends. Head into your profile in settings and tap on the "Find Friends" button, which will allow you to find and follow more friends or artists. If you're not on Facebook or don't want to connect your Facebook account to Spotify you can still find and follow friends, it just might be a bit more difficult in some cases. According to Spotify, the best way to find and follow a friend is to use the search box on the desktop client and use this format:.
If this doesn't work, ask your friend to either copy their profile link directly from their profile page and send it to you. Alternatively, ask if they can share one of their public playlists with you. If they created the playlist, then their username is contained within the URL as a number:. You can either use that number to find them or click on their name in the playlist to follow them.
For more detailed guidance on finding friends on Spotify, see Spotify's official tutorial. Creating a playlist is as easy as right-clicking a song and clicking "Add to Playlist" or clicking the three dots next to a song on the app. Grab your favourite songs and stick them in a playlist for your personal listening pleasure. Once you get started you'll soon find you're following playlists made by friends or curated by artists.
Spotify is smart too, the more you listen, the more it learns the sort of music you like and that has an impact on the music it will present to you in future. Yeah, I've tried to figure it out but I can't seem to find how I have to do it anywhere..
