How to Listen to Spotify Offline without Premium

Spotify, unlike some music streaming platforms, offers free online music playback. As long as you have a Spotify account logged in, you can listen to music on it without paying. Things become different when your internet connection is not stable or you can't even use the internet at all. Yes, Spotify allows some users to listen to Spotify offline easily with its premium subscription. But what if you only need this premium offline mode from time to time? Paying for that is kind of a waste for you. Don't worry, this post will help you out.

Can You Listen to Spotify Offline Without Premium

In short, yes. You might have known that only Spotify premium users can download songs and listen to them on the Spotify app offline. But hey, why on the app? I mean you can try ripping songs off Spotify and listening to them offline instead. There are third-party tools that work for all Spotify accounts and allow you to do that for free and even offer you a better experience for offline listening.

Even though Spotify premium offers more features such as ad-free playback and offline mode, there are still some inconveniences using the latter feature - one can't stream them offline on other players like iPod Shuffle even though he subscribes to Spotify premium. If you got a tool that helps you convert Spotify music to MP3 or other formats with your free Spotify account, you can easily listen to them offline on whatever player you prefer. Or if you like, you can add them as local sources and stream them on Spotify offline directly. It's pretty simple, I will show you how in the next part.

How to Make Sure That Spotify Plays Music Offline Without Using Mobile Data

There are times when you wish to listen to Spotify offline but still need to turn on the mobile data for other use. The following parts may help you reduce your mobile data use on Spotify.

Avoid Streaming Altogether When Listening to Spotify Offline?

If you let go of the settings without using the offline mode of Spotify, chances are Spotify will use the streaming mode for your playback, which means that even though you wish to listen to Spotify offline, your mobile data may still be used. Below is how to turn on the Spotify Offline mode:

Step 1. Launch Spotify on your phone, and hit the gear icon on the right top of the homepage.

Step 2. Scroll down. Under the "Playback" section, toggle on the button for "Offline mode".

Note: Offline mode only lasts for 30 days. You need to turn the feature off after that to make sure the account is logged in.

Block Spotify from Using Mobile Data in the Background

When you are hunting for new songs, you need to turn off the Offline mode. And I believe that you will manage the downloaded songs that are not downloaded altogether in the same playlist. If you don't remember to turn on the mode after that, when you are streaming the downloaded Spotify music, or leave Spotify in the background without playing anything, your data will still be used. To avoid this, you can block Spotify from doing so.

Step 1. Go to the "Settings" on your phone.

Step 2. Hit the "Apps" and find "Spotify".

Step 3. Click "Mobile Data" and toggle off "Allow background data usage".
