Part 1: Why Can’t You Directly Add Spotify Music to Video Apps on Mobile Devices

As the largest online streaming service, Spotify enables people to listen to millions of audiobooks, podcasts and songs from artists all over the world. As we all know, Spotify has 2 different subscriptions: Free plan and Premium plan. Both plans enable you to search and browse desired songs for listening on Spotify, get recommendations from custom features like Discover Weekly, find what your friends or other artists are listening to, create stations and playlists manage the songs you like, etc. The Spotify Free plan offers you unlimited listening of music with ads, while the Premium plan has no ads but costs $9.99 per month. However, the $9.99 Premium plan enables you to download Spotify songs onto no more than 3 mobile devices for unlimited offline listening.

Why can’t you add Spotify songs to video apps on mobile devices even if you have upgraded to Spotify Premium plan, which enables you to download Spotify songs to mobile devices for offline listening? That’s because all Spotify songs are DRM protected. DRM, short for Digital Rights Management, prevents Spotify songs being used in unauthorized ways. That means, even though you upgrade to Premium plan and you have downloaded Spotify songs to mobile devices, you could still only open downloaded Spotify songs with Spotify app other than other apps. You have to remove the DRM protection upon Spotify songs before you could import Spotify music to video app as background music.

Extension: 3 Video Editing Apps on Android and iPhone

For your information, we have collected 3 wonderful video apps for both Android and iPhone to help you make videos with background music. Check them below.

Triller

If you want, you can also use the app's trim or cut tools to remove any part of the video clip you don't like. The only downside is that music videos you record with Triller can't last longer than 30 seconds. The app's music collection includes some of the most popular songs at the moment, so you can even participate in different music challenges or create lip-sync videos with music from your favorite singers. Triller lets you draw over videos, apply different visual effects or add text overlays, but some of these features must be purchased, as the free version of the app offers only a limited amount of ways to edit music and video.

Vizmato

interface that lets you record HD video with live special effects.
