Listen offline

Take your music and podcasts anywhere your internet can’t go.

• For Premium, you can download albums, playlists, and podcasts
• For the free version of Spotify, you can download podcasts

You can download up to 10,000 songs on each of up to 5 different devices.

Note: Go online at least once every 30 days to keep your downloads. This is so Spotify can collect play data to compensate artists.

Not downloading?

Downloads not playing?

Look for the download status next to your song or playlist:

If that doesn’t help, try reinstalling the app.

Note: You need to re-download any downloaded music and podcasts after reinstalling the app.

Downloads removed?

You might lose your downloads if:

• You don’t go online at least once in 30 days

  Note: Downloads are removed from the device you’ve used least recently

If it’s not these reasons, make sure your device can keep your downloads:
