How to Download Music from Spotify to Computer

As we all know, Spotify is the King in the music streaming world. It offers three types of subscriptions – Spotify Free, Spotify Premium ($9.99 / month) and Spotify Family ($14.99 / month). No matter which type of subscriber you are, you can access the giant library with more than 100 million songs. And with the Spotify app installed, you can listen to your Spotify songs on various devices.

However, the downside of it is that you are unable to own them in a real way. Due to the restriction of the service, Spotify users are unable to get songs downloaded from Spotify, even for Spotify paid users. The alleged “offline listening” mode for Spotify premium subscribers is like a kind of rental service. When you are within the subscription, you can listen to them offline, but once you cancel the service, you won’t be able to enjoy them without the internet any longer.
