How to download songs from Spotify

One of the benefits of Spotify Premium is that users can download their favorite songs, playlists, and podcasts for offline listening.

If you're going on a long journey in an airplane or heading to an area with spotty internet, downloading song to use as a soundtrack will help you create a seamless listening experience.

Though Spotify doesn't allow users to download individual songs from playlists, it is pretty easy to quickly create a playlist with all your favorite tracks and download them together for offline listening.

Here's how:
