Q: Spotify works great as it allows me to listen to Spotify songs, playlists and albums online freely. But when I plan to download Spotify Music to my phone for offline playback, it prompts me to upgrade to Spotify Premium. It seems that Spotify offline listening mode is only available for Premium subscribers. Can I download songs from Spotify using my free account?

Spotify Free users will never enjoy any Spotify songs if there is no Internet connection. After upgrading to Spotify Premium, you can only download up to 3,333 songs on each device for up to 3 different devices. This tutorial shows you how to download Spotify Music without premium, and how to convert Spotify Music to MP3 with UkeySoft Spotify Music Converter. If you are interested, please continue to refer to this article.

Spotify Free
As a free Spotify user, you are free to discover your favorite music. In your free time, you can play any song in Spotify via an internet connection.
