"Can I download music to my MP3 player? - I just began using Spotify. Can I download music to my MP3 player directly or do I have to get it to Window Media Player? If I need to get music to WMP, how do I do that? Thanks." Asked by dugchevy on Spotify Communities.

Many Spotify users, especially those newbies, have the same requirements as the above ones.

Is there any way to transfer music from Spotify to MP3 player? Of course yes. Today, we would like to show you effective solutions on how to download music from Spotify to MP3 player. Just check the content below and learn how to put music on MP3 player from Spotify.

Part 1: Why Can't We Transfer Spotify Songs to MP3 Player Directly

Some people might wonder if the Premium plan of Spotify allows them to transfer music from Spotify to MP3 player as the Premium plan enables "Offline Mode" for Premium users to set Spotify songs for offline listening on portable devices. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Let's get further into Spotify here.

According to Spotify website, Spotify is a digital music, podcast, and video streaming service that gives you access to millions of songs and other content from artists all over the world. You could listen to over 35 million songs on Spotify. It has both Free and Premium versions, for free and $9.99 per month respectively. The Premium plan enables you to listen to Spotify songs without ads, and set Spotify songs as “Offline Mode” to let you listen to Spotify songs offline on up to 3 devices of platforms like iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, etc.

Does the “Offline Mode” mean downloading Spotify songs? Actually it doesn’t. When you set Spotify songs as “Offline Mode”, it will download the songs in a proprietary format which you can play back with your Smartphone, PC/Mac or iPod Touch using the Spotify Application. You can however not extract songs into other formats like MP3 for other players.

Spotify relies on a "closed system" in order to ensure artists are fairly paid for track plays. This means that a Spotify Premium subscription only gives you access to Spotify's massive catalogue, and the ability to download and play tracks offline inside the Spotify applications, not the ability to download tracks as mp3's.

This does mean, that you can only listen to Spotify content on devices which have a supported Spotify application, such as iOS, android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7/8 and Symbian (also on the desktop). If you wish to download tracks as mp3 files to transfer to windows media player or to a generic mp3 player, you need to turn to some 3rd-party Spotify song downloader tools, which are described below in detail.
