"Will I lose the downloaded Spotify playlist after the subscription is over? Is there any method to save my Spotify music songs forever?"
Spotify Premium tier gives you access to every music content without advertising interruption. No matter which device -- desktop, mobile, or smartwatch -- Spotify Premium allows you to skip tracks, download offline, get better audio quality, travel abroad without limitation, and a lot. To enjoy all these privileges, a regular fee is of course needed -- $11.99/month for an individual, $19.99/month for family (6 accounts), and more.
Though the paid subscription on Spotify is affordable for most music aficionados, there're still various reasons you would like to cancel Premium. Here this article, we will cover how to cancel Spotify Premium account, what will happen after unsubscribing, and how to keep Spotify downloads playable after not being a Spotify Free member.
Spotify does provide an easy method to cancel Premium plan, you can finish this task only just using a browser on computer, cellphone, tablet, or other smart device.
Step 1. Go to www.spotify.com and log into your account.
Step 2. Go to "Profile > Account", scroll down to "Your plan", and click "Change Plan".
Step 3. On the new page, you'll find your current plan. Scroll down and click "Cancel Premium". Then you'll just need to follow the prompts to finish the cancel steps.
Tips: If you want to delete the Spotify Free or Premium account, you could directly contact Spotify to do so.
After canceling Premium, your Spotify will not directly turn to a Free account -- it will stay until the next billing date. After that, the original info can be still used to log in, but your playlist will contain ads.
Besides, the most important is, your Spotify downloads will gray out after the subscription closed. That means, you'll lose the offline listening feature and can only stream tittle with the internet.
This change will strongly affect the user experience when you're traveling to a remote area, or taking a plane. Thus, if you are keen to play Spotify offline content without Premium, the next solution you can never miss.
