To sum up, Spotify Premium only allows you to download Spotify podcasts on mobile devices and actually it only downloads Spotify podcasts to Spotify itself. You can\u2019t transfer the downloaded Spotify podcasts to other places for other uses like sending to friends or sharing online. However, Leawo Prof. DRM and Music Recorder could download Spotify podcasts to computer as local file for either unlimited offline playback, sending to friend, editing with audio editor, sharing online, etc. Leawo Prof. DRM directly downloads and converts Spotify music and podcasts to local drive via decoding and encoding, while Leawo Music Recorder downloads Spotify music and podcasts via recording. They adopt 2 different downloading methods, which results in difference in downloading speed. Leawo Prof. DRM requires much more less time than Leawo Music Recorder does. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
