How to Burn Spotify Music to CD

CDs are used as a medium of storing data almost permanently. They are small & portable and cheap to produce. It’s a pity that today is a streaming world with a quickly diminishing CD. If you are a frequent CD user, we advise you to learn to burn CDs by yourself.

Currently, most of us access music by subscribing to a music streaming service, among which, Spotify is one of the most popular ones. Spotify provides users with over 100 million tracks, enough large music library to choose songs from. If you are a Premium subscriber, you can stream Spotify songs at 320kbps. Also, you are allowed to download music from Spotify for offline playback.

Nevertheless, the downloaded Spotify songs are cache files that can’t be copied or exported for use on any other device. Thus, before you can burn Spotify music to a CD, you need to convert Spotify music to a more popular format like MP3.

AudiFab Spotify Music Converter is a popular tool that can convert Spotify music to MP3/AAC/WAV/FLAC/AIFF/ALAC, keeping original audio quality and ID3 tags after conversion, available on both Windows and Mac operating systems.

AudiFab is beginner-friendly. You can use it to convert Spotify music to MP3 in 5 steps and all the steps are easy to follow. Plus, there’s a built-in CD burner within AudiFab, if you are running a Windows system. You can also use it to export Spotify songs to iTunes for burning a CD.

AudiFab enables you to convert Spotify music to MP3, after which, you can add the .mp3 files to WMP or any other CD Burner to burn Spotify music to a CD.

Here’s a step-by-step tutorial about how to use AudiFab Spotify Music Converter to save songs from Spotify as .mp3 files:

Step 1 Open AudiFab Spotify Music Converter

Download, install and launch AudiFab Spotify Music Converter. There are two ways for conversion: Spotify App and Spotify Webplayer. Spotify App has the best quality, but the speed is different for Windows (10x) and Mac (1x). Spotify Webplayer mode has a fixed 10x speed conversion for both systems.

Once you click App, the AudiFab interface and Spotify app would be launched automatically in the background.

Step 2 Add Spotify Music to AudiFab

Drag & drop a playlist from Spotify to AudiFab. AudiFab would analyze the link and list out all the songs in the playlist to choose from. Select the Spotify songs that you’d like to burn to CD and then click Add.

Step 3 Choose MP3 as the Output Format

Click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner. Here you can choose the output format (MP3/AAC/WAV/FLAC/AIFF/ALAC), the output audio quality, and the output folder.

Besides, you can customize how to name the output files (Track Number/Title/Artist/Album/Playlist Index) and how you’d like to sort out the converted files (Artist, Album, Artist/Album, Album/Artist, None).

When everything is set, just close the Settings windows to apply the changed settings.

Tips: 1) If you’d like to keep the converted files in the same order as your original playlist, please make sure you include the Playlist Index in the Output File Name section. 2) If you’d like to save all the converted songs under the same folder, please select None in the Output Organized section.

Step 4 Convert Spotify Music to MP3

Click the Convert button and AudiFab would immediately start exporting the Spotify songs as .mp3 files to the output folder set in Step 3.

Step 5 Find the MP3 Files

Once the conversion is done, click the Converted tab and you can check all the Spotify songs that have been downloaded successfully.

Go to the output folder and you can find all the Spotify music in MP3 format.
