- Can I download Spotify songs I like as mp3 and play them anywhere? (Without the actual Spotify software, for example in my car). Is there DRM or anything like that? Will they work on my car radio (USB stick)?
Spotify songs are encoded in OGG format with DRM protection, which aims to protect the copyright of the creation. Though Spotify offers the downloading feature to Premium users, the songs downloaded from Spotify are still protected OGG format. So normally, it's impossible to directly download Spotify music to MP3 format.
Thus, you need help from some Spotify to MP3 downloader. Today, this post have listed the best 6 Spotify music to MP3 downloaders (before 2018) at your service.
Hope it will save your time and money to find the suitable one that meets your needs.

Spotify VK Spotiload is a chrome extension, a suitable app for downloading the tracks from the Spotify playlists to MP3 format. It is very easy to install.

If it can find it, then you can download the song; but if it cannot find it, you have to wait until it adds the song(s) to its database. So you cannot download the newly released songs.
