It’s known to us all that Spotify offers two types of subscriptions: Spotify Free & Spotify Premium. The most attractive feature available for Premium subscribers only is the Download option it offers. Some Spotify Free users are wondering whether they can download songs from Spotify for offline listening with a free account. This article will give you a comprehensive answer. Not only can you learn the main differences between Spotify Free and Premium, but you can also learn 2 very simple ways to download music from Spotify without Premium.
Spotify is a popular music streaming service, competing with Apple Music, Amazon Music Unlimited, Tidal, Deezer, etc. In terms of the number of subscribers, Spotify is the King in the music streaming world. As mentioned above, it offers Free and Premium plans. What are the differences between them? Is Premium worth the money?
We can say that Spotify is a freemium service. Spotify Free users can access some basic functions while Spotify Premium subscribers are provided with more wonderful features. By signing up as a free member, you can stream ad-supported Spotify songs for free, with some functional limitations. For example, a stable network is always needed to enjoy Spotify. If you use a mobile app, you can only skip 6 tracks an hour, and you can't select a specific song for playback.
Spotify Premium users are provided with a more pleasant listening experience: 1) There are no ads at all. 2) You can choose songs to play or skip songs at will. 3) It offers higher audio quality. 4) It enables offline streaming. If you are planning for a business trip or listening to songs in a place without a stable network, the last feature will bring you great convenience.
