Part 1. Use the Spotify Poweramp Plugin to Play Spotify
Although Spotify doesn't integrate directly with Poweramp, you can still play Spotify music online while using Poweramp's built-in app plugin. It functions as a Spotify Poweramp Equalizer and can effectively optimize Spotify's playback effects.
You can enhance Spotify's streaming quality in various ways, such as adjusting the bass and treble levels, modifying frequency bands, and controlling the volume, all to enjoy a superior listening experience.
Note: What Poweramp Equalizer does is fine-tune the audio output of Spotify streaming songs with its adjustment feature instead of playing the audio files of Spotify Music. That means you are not using the Poweramp app to actually manage and play Spotify songs.
Here are the detailed steps on how to play Spotify music with Poweramp Equalizer.
Step 1. Download and install Spotify Poweramp Equalizer. Launch it on your Android.
Step 2. Choose "Settings" after tapping the 3-bar icon at the bottom. Tap "Equalizer" and then switch on the Enable Audio Processing function.
Step 3. Tap "Known Players" and then toggle the "Spotify" switch (Before this, make sure your Spotify is running) to connect the Equalizer with Spotify.
Part 2. Play Spotify Music on Poweramp as MP3 Audio
The Poweramp Equalizer plugin fine-tunes Spotify songs during streaming but doesn't directly manage or play them. Poweramp's strength lies in its music management, excelling with large local libraries, as it only handles local files. Therefore, you'll need to save your songs from Spotify to local drives as common audio files first.
To achieve this, TuneFab Spotify Music Converter is your best helper. It features a built-in Spotify web player that directly accesses your playlists and music library. With just a few simple steps, you can convert Spotify songs to MP3, M4A, or other formats supported by Poweramp. After conversion, simply import the files into Poweramp, and you're all set!
