Part 2: Spotify 320kbps Download from Spotify Music App Without Premium

To download Spotify Music tracks, albums, playlists, and podcasts to common MP3 songs, only a third-party tool can settle it and present a practical solution. TunePat Spotify Music Converter is a skillful music extractor that converts Spotify songs to several popular formats, such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, and ALAC. Followed by the conversion, you are not restricted by Spotify. The local Spotify Music files can be transferred to any device for offline playback. Besides, you will be impressed by TunePat Spotify Music Converter because it downloads songs from Spotify with original quality and full metadata. You can rarely refuse a tool like this.

TunePat Spotify Converter can support the acquisition and conversion of songs using a Spotify Free or Premium account. But you need to pay attention to the following points:

1. If you are using a Free account, you can get music up to 160 kbit/s on the desktop or mobile client. And if it is accessed through a web player, it is 128kbit/s. Therefore, if you want to obtain 320 kbit/s Spotify MP3 files, it is recommended to use a Spotify Premium account (accounts in the free trial period are also supported).

2. Besides music, TunePat Spotify Converter also supports converting podcasts. The podcast audio quality is the same for both free and premium users, around 96 kbit/s on all devices and around 128 kbit/s on web players.

TunePat Spotify Converter supports converting songs from the embedded web player or from the Spotify app. The operation methods of the two are similar, but the sound quality obtained is different. If you choose to convert from the Spotify web player, you can get songs at 10X speed, but the highest audio quality you can keep is only 256 kbps, even if you are a Premium user. So if you wish to get Spotify in 320 kbps MP3, choose the "Spotify App" entrance.

Step 1 After clicking on the Spotify App, the Spotify App on your computer will pop up synchronously. What you need to do is log in to your Spotify account on the Spotify App. If you have already logged in, go to the next step directly.

Step 2 Navigate to the Settings tab, and you'll find the Convert Settings on the main interface, where you can modify various parameters such as conversion mode, output format, bit rate, sample rate, output folder, and output file name. In the output format section, choose "MP3," and you can set the bit rate to "Very High (320 kbps)".

As you can see, the conversion modes are categorized into Intelligent Mode, Spotify Record, and YouTube Download. If you select "Spotify Record" mode, you have the option to customize the conversion speed, which can range from 1X to 10X. If your network speed is slow, it's advisable to reduce the speed to ensure the output file maintains good quality.

Step 3 You have three options for parsing Spotify songs. First, you can simply click the blue "Click to add" button. Alternatively, you can choose the cover image of the song, album, playlist, or podcast you want to convert in the Spotify app and drag it to the "Drag the music here" area on TunePat's home page. Once you release the mouse, the program will automatically read it. Lastly, you can copy the link of the desired Spotify track and paste it into the blue area on the right, then click "+" to begin parsing.

Step 4 Once TunePat has finished parsing the songs on the current page, all tracks will be pre-selected by default. You can manually deselect or remove any songs if needed. After that, click the "Add" button to move them to the Music interface, where they will be ready for conversion.

Step 5Next, go to the "Music" tab to view the selected Spotify songs. Click "Convert" to begin the conversion process. If you forgot to adjust the output settings earlier, you can click the Settings icon in the top-right corner to make changes before converting.

Step 5 When the conversion ends, the output folder will open automatically. You can go to the Converted part and check the songs you want, then click to export them to iTunes, burn them to CD, etc. And since the Spotify Music tracks have been converted to MP3 formats, you can transfer these local music files to any other device, such as USB flash drives, phones, and so on.
