Question: “I upgraed to Spotify Premium plan and downloaded Spotify playlists on the destkop app. I want to transfer them to my SanDisk MP3 player for listening but I failed. Is there any way to transfer music from Spotify to MP3 player? Thanks.”

Do you still meet this problem? Spotify allows you to access Spotify’s 70 million songs on your desktop, mobile phone and tablets, etc. If you have a Spotify Premium account, you can even download Spotify music for offline listening on your devices. However, you don’t have ability to download Spotify music to MP3 player. Most of MP3 players can’t support Spotify. Even you have downloaded Spotify songs on your computer, you can’t transfer Spotify songs to MP3 player for listening, since all Spotify songs are in DRM protected Ogg Vorbis format. Thus, you can’t transfer music from Spotify to MP3 Player or other devices directly.

Although most MP3 players don’t support to play the DRM-ed Spotify songs, they can play MP3 songs. MP3 format is compatible with any MP3 player like Sony Walkman, SanDisk, iPods, etc. To transfer Spotify songs, albums or playlists to any MP3 player, you need to remove Spotify DRM and convert Spotify music to DRM-free MP3. To do that, you need to use a third-party tool – Spotify to MP3 converter.
