Available Tips

By Izzy WarrenPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

Spotify serves as one of the biggest popular music streaming platforms in the world. With millions of tracks stocked in its database, it does attract lots of users. The services that are provided by Spotify mainly include Free and Premium. If you choose the first one, you have to bear constant ads and online data consumption all the time. Otherwise, if you are a privileged Premium user, then you will have access to enjoying all the songs online, as well as downloading Spotify Music for offline playing.

However, if you had tried downloading Spotify playlist to PC local, you would find that what you have downloaded are cache files instead of plain formats like MP3 or WAV, etc. It's really annoying that these files could not be played on any devices other than Spotify app.
