Part 3. FAQs About Downloading Spotify Playlists
Q1: Why Spotify won't download a playlist?
Spotify only allows Spotify Premium users to download Spotify songs, playlists, and albums for listening offline by applying an encryption method called DRM (Digital Rights Management). If you are a free user, of course, you can't download Spotify playlists within Spotify.
But if Spotify won't download a playlist even after you subscribe to Spotify Premium, you should consider whether the network connection of your device is not stable, because this would be the most direct reason causing Spotify to fail to download songs for you. Also, if your music library has saved up to 10000 downloaded songs, it has reached the highest amount that Spotify allows to download so it doesn't process new downloads for you anymore.
Q2: Can I transfer my Spotify playlist to my MP3 player?
Unfortunately, as all Spotify downloads are encrypted by DRM, you are not available to transfer any Spotify playlist to MP3 players. To listen to Spotify on MP3 players without Spotify app installed, you will be required to remove DRM from them first. For such a purpose, TuneFab Spotify Music Converter provides the best help.
