“I was hunting a tool to convert Spotify to MP3 as well as download Spotify playlist to MP3. So I could put on a USB drive and play the music in my car. Any advises?” – Reddit
Spotify is a subscription music platform that enables you to enjoy millions of songs, podcasts, and videos from artists around the world. Due to Spotify DRM copy protection, you can’t download and convert Spotify songs to MP3 even you are a subscriber.
Then, how to solve the problem for listening Spotify MP3 songs on Mac, Windows, iPhone or Android? Check the article below.
Why Not Use the Official Plans to Convert Spotify to MP3?
There are two tiers of subscription plans on Spotify, Free, and Premium. Everyone can sign up a 30-day free account for playing music with Spotify web player.
As for Premium version, it comes with more functions, like offline listening, no ads, unlimited skips, etc. But the limits and inadequacies are also obvious:
- It needs cost $9.99 per month to subscribe to Premium service.
- Can only download Spotify songs to 3 separate devices and 10000 audio tracks in total.
- Spotify will delete the offline music if you are not online within 30 days.
- Unable to download Spotify to MP3 files, but to download the cache DRM OGG files because of DRM restrictions
Admittedly, official plans have lots of limitations and don’t support to convert Spotify to MP3. Thus, you need a shrewd Spotify to mp3 converter to help you out of trouble.
How to Convert Spotify to MP3 Free Online?
Google search results are full of so-called free Spotify to MP3 converters online, such as soundiiz.com, mp3fy.com, playlist-converter.net, and spoty-mp3.com. Unfortunately, none of them are useful for Spotify to MP3 conversion.
Soundiiz.com– transferring Spotify music data to streaming platforms, like Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play Music, Deezer, etc.
Mp3fy.com, Playlist-converter.net– doesn’t work for me.
Spoty-mp3.com– the website has gone. It will remind you to install the Flash Player. Never have to download it. It’s the weknow.ac browser hijacker.
According to my test, spotdl.com is the most reliable Spotify to mp3 converter free online. It prides itself on producing powerful, being so easy to use, and making it available free of charge.
- Copy one of the Spotify link.
- Paste it to the spotdl search bar.
- Click the green “Convert” button.
- Your Spotify music will be downloaded to MP3.
Pros:
- Download up 500 playlists and songs to MP3 per month
- No additional software or packs required
- No need to register an account
- Fast and simple
Cons:
- Limited sound quality of 128kbps
- No song metadata
There is also an upgrade version. Only paying $5/ month, you will become the membership of spotdl.com, enjoying the use of unlimited song downloads, higher music quality, etc.
Can Chrome Extension Convert Spotify to MP3 without Premium?
Sure if pick the right extensions.
People tend to recommend Deezify, but I haven’t found it on the Chrome Web Store. The tools I tested are Spotify & Deezer Music Downloader, DZR Music and Spotiload (former Spotify Vk Downloader).
Spotiload– it can detect files on vk.com with the same name as songs in Spotify web player, which is more popular in Russian-speaking areas.
Spotify & Deezer Music Downloader, DZR Music– robust utilities aimed to download the whole playlists or the single track from Spotify and Deezer Webplayers.
Of the above three Chrome Spotify to MP3 converters, the one that gets the most praise is Spotify & Deezer Music Downloader. Try out the tool to download Spotify songs to MP3 from web player directly.
- Add the extension to Chrome.
- Go to the Spotify web player.
- Find the album/playlist/track that you want to download.
- Click the green “Download” buttons next to the tracks. The Spotify music will be downloaded as MP3 files.
Pros:
- Completely a free Spotify to MP3 converter

Cons:
