Spotify lets you save all your music locally if you have a Premium account. Thanks to this feature, you can enjoy your music anywhere, even if you do not have an Internet connection. The download is hidden from the user and the tracks can only be played from the official Spotify application. Of course, there is also no way to transfer it to an external player or burn the songs to a CD. Is there a way to transform Spotify music into MP3 files? Yes, there is, and we tell you about it in this guide.
How to record your music in MP3 with Spotify
To convert your music from Spotify to MP3, you can use Spytify, an application capable of detecting active Spotify playback and recording it to your hard drive in MP3 format. You can download the latest version available from Malavida. Additionally, you need to have the official Spotify account installed. This tool works with premium and free accounts.
Once you have both applications installed, open them. First, configure Spytify according to your needs. Use the Settings section for this. For example, modify the destination of your MP3 files thanks to the Output path.
