How to Download Spotify Playlists to MP3 in Best 5 Ways (14+ Tools)

Part 1. Using Spotify Playlist Downloaders

There are some great Spotify music downloaders that support batch MP3 conversion, and of course, they support playlists. These tools are easy to use but adopt different technologies and music sources. Some tools extract music files from platforms like YouTube or VK, while others stick to the Spotify platform for music lovers. Some of them even use the Spotify API.

1. ViWizard Spotify Music Converter [Wins/Mac]

   

   If you feel limited by Spotify's download restrictions, ViWizard Spotify Music Converter can help. This tool makes it easy to convert Spotify music to MP3, whether you have a Premium or free account. You can download and convert music, podcasts, and audiobooks (for Premium users) with this converter.

   ViWizard allows you to create an offline music library by converting single tracks, playlists, albums, and radio stations to MP3. Although MP3 is the most popular format, ViWizard also supports WAV, AAC, FLAC, M4A, and M4B. The music source is generally considered most important, and ViWizard sticks to the original music source. It works directly with the Spotify desktop app, extracting the MP3 files from it. This means you get the same listening experience as when you use Spotify. If you care about bit rate, ViWizard offers excellent quality. Premium users can download at 320Kbps, which matches Spotify's 'Very High' quality setting. Free users can download at 160Kbps, equivalent to Spotify's 'High' setting.

   ViWizard is fast and stable, able to handle long playlists quickly, whether they are made by you or Spotify. Unlike some tools that rely on internet speeds or real-time recording, ViWizard provides a consistent conversion process. It also keeps the original audio quality, metadata, and important information intact, making it a top choice for converting Spotify music.

2. spotDL [Wins/Mac/Linux]

   

   Similar to ViWizard Spotify Music Converter, spotDL is a popular method for downloading Spotify music to MP3 and supports playlists. It's free, open-source, and easily accessible, but using it requires some familiarity with FFmpeg basics since FFmpeg is necessary for spotDL. Operations are performed using command-line commands, including the default 'download.'

   Users can utilize spotDL's Spotify API to easily download tracks, playlists, albums, and limited podcasts to MP3. However, it's not particularly user-friendly for beginners. Notably, spotDL sources its music downloads from YouTube instead of Spotify to avoid potential issues. For those seeking the highest possible bit rate, a YouTube Premium subscription is necessary for 256Kbps. Regular users can expect to download at 128Kbps.

   • How to Use spotDL for Downloading Spotify Songs

   Tool	Devices	Output Formats	Conversion Speed	User-friendliness	Content Support	Source	Bit Rate
   spotDL	Windows, Mac, Linux	MP3	Depends on internet speed	High	Music (Tracks, Playlists, Albums), Limited Podcasts	YouTube	Up to 320Kbps (Spotify Premium); 128Kbps (Spotify Free)

3. Fildo [Android]

   

   For Android users seeking a confirmed way to download Spotify playlists to MP3, Fildo is the solution for you. It's known for its combination of playlist downloads, syncing with the Spotify library, and a vast music discovery source.

   To download Spotify playlists to MP3 using Fildo, you'll first need to log in to your Spotify account, whether it's a Premium or free one, and grant any necessary permissions. Fildo will then sync up with your music library and load your playlists into it, including your "Liked Songs" playlist. However, batch downloading isn't as convenient with Fildo. There's no button to download the entire playlist at once. Instead, you'll need to download each song individually.

4. SpotiFlyer [Wins/Mac/Linux/Android]

   

   Lucky Android users get another option called SpotiFlyer APK, similar to Fildo. But SpotiFlyer isn't limited to just Android - this time deskrop users can access it on Windows, Mac, and Linux. When you want to download Spotify playlists to MP3, you usually need the playlist link. With SpotiFlyer, it's easy. After setting it up on your device, paste the playlist link into the search tool.

Part 2. Using Online Downloaders

If you're looking for the easiest way to download your Spotify playlists to MP3, there are some online web tools that can help. However, compared to the methods we introduced earlier, using online tools like SpotifyMate can be less reliable. While all of them should support MP3 conversion, not all of them support playlists. They are best for individual tracks. Moreover, these tools often go down quickly and lack official support, which means you might run into issues when trying to download music from unknown sources. It can take time to find a tool that works for you because you never know if it's sourcing from YouTube, Spotify, VK, or elsewhere.

Many of these online tools have intermittent ads on their websites, similar to the free version of Spotify. Even if they manage to download the tracks you want, there's no guarantee of audio quality like you'd get with dedicated software such as ViWizard Spotify Music Converter.

1. Open your favorite playlist on Spotify Web Player or the app where you're logged in.
2. Click the "More" button (usually "...") next to the playlist.
3. Choose "Copy Link" from the Share options.
4. Visit the website of the online tool.
5. Find the box to paste the link (usually in the center).
6. Paste the playlist link there.
7. Click the download button to start.
8. Once it's done, download the neatly packed ZIP file containing all the MP3s.
9. Unzip the file and enjoy your playlist offline, wherever you go!

That's it! Just a few simple steps to download your Spotify playlist to MP3 using online tools.

1. SpotifyMate

   

   SpotifyMate is designed to make it easy for everyone to download tracks, playlists, and albums from Spotify to MP3. You can easily identify the tracks you want by checking details like the playlist name, cover, title, and artist. As a bonus, SpotifyMate offers additional download options such as "Download MP3" and "Download Cover (HD)." These options give you more flexibility in how you download and use your Spotify music.

   However, in our testing with the playlist "This Is BTS," a curated playlist by Spotify, SpotifyMate breaks down the playlist into individual song download links. This means you have to click on each song separately to download it. This might be because SpotifyMate doesn't use Spotify as its source and may extract tracks from elsewhere.

   SpotifyMate	Web-based	MP3	Depends on internet speed	High	Music (Tracks, Playlists, Albums)	N/A	N/A

2. Spotify-Downloader

   

   Spotify-Downloader is a standout among online tools for downloading Spotify music due to its diverse download options. It allows you to select the playlist, album, or track you want to download, even if it's from the same artist. The tool also informs you of the number of songs in your playlist and the approximate storage space required for downloading.

   However, unlike SpotifyMate, Spotify-Downloader doesn't provide specific track information for further confirmation. Nevertheless, it offers greater convenience by providing a "Download ZIP" button. This allows you to batch download your playlist to MP3 in a single click, rather than needing to download each track separately.

   Tool	Devices	Output Formats	Conversion Speed	User-friendliness	Content Support	Source	Bit Rate
   Spotify-Downloader	Web-based	MP3	Depends on internet speed	High	Music (Tracks, Playlists, Albums)	N/A	128Kbps

3. SpotifyDown

   

   SpotifyDown is a leading option for downloading Spotify music online. It boasts a similar interface to SpotifyMate, showing all the necessary info so you can easily confirm your playlists. It also has a handy "Download ZIP" button that SpotifyMate doesn't have, so you can download your whole playlist to MP3 at once. But it heavily relies on internet speed. This means that even if you access it on your device and enter the link in the designated area, it may fail to respond or show a "Something went wrong" message.

   Despite this drawback, SpotifyDown stands out for its additional conversion options. It can convert FLAC to MP3, WAV to MP3, or AIFF to MP3, while still defaulting to the MP3 format for downloads.

Part 3. Using Audio Recorder

An audio recorder like Audacity works by recording the music as it plays on your computer. Here are a few important things to remember: most audio recorders are free, which is a significant advantage. However, you'll need to play each song in full for the software to record it, which can be time-consuming, especially for longer playlists. Additionally, the quality of your recordings depends on your computer's sound system and software settings. While many software options are free, some offer paid versions with additional features. For example, both Audacity and Apowersoft's Online Audio Recorder are free, while Apowersoft's Streaming Audio Recorder offers a paid option for more output formats. Furthermore, some of these software options are praised for their editing tools. Overall, we still recommend tools like ViWizard Spotify Music Converter equipped with faster speed to do your favor.

1. ViWizard Audio Capture [Wins/Mac]

   

   ViWizard Audio Capture is another offering from ViWizard that's worth considering. It's particularly useful if you prefer using the Spotify Web Player, as it allows you to record audio from both the streaming app and browser audio. This versatility comes in handy if you also use other music services like YouTube Music and want to create an offline music library with MP3 files from your playlists.

   Using ViWizard Audio Capture is simple: connect it to Spotify, play your playlist, and it automatically starts converting. Plus, it won't record any ads if you're using the free version of Spotify. Additionally, it detects and splits recordings automatically when Spotify switches to the next track in your playlist. This saves you time and hassle by eliminating the need for manual trimming after recording.

   Tool	Devices	Output Formats	Conversion Speed	User-friendliness	Content Support	Source	Bit Rate
   ViWizard Audio Capture	Windows, Mac	FLAC, WAV, MP3, M4A, WMA, AAC, AC3, AIFF	Real-time recording	High	Music (Tracks, Playlists, Albums, Radio Stations), Podcasts, Audiobooks (Spotify Premium)	Exclusively Spotify	Up to 320Kbps (Spotify Premium); 128Kbps (Spotify Free)

2. Audacity [Wins/Mac/Linux]

   

   Audacity is a free and open-source audio recording and editing software with plenty of features and a user-friendly interface. However, mastering its editing tools may require some learning if you want to tweak your tracks, adjust volumes, or add effects. It's perfect for recording individual tracks but not as efficient for long playlists. When recording playlists, you'll have to manually split each track, which can be time-consuming, especially if you're not fully engaged. While Audacity is dependable, it demands more effort for playlist recordings compared to specialized tools like ViWizard Spotify Music Converter.

3. Apowersoft Audio Recorder [Wins/Mac/Online]

   

   Apowersoft Audio Recorder provides both free and paid options for recording audio, catering to different user needs. The free version, known as Apowersoft Online Audio Recorder, allows you to capture your Spotify playlists directly from a web tab where you've opened the Spotify Web Player. However, even with the paid version, you still need to pay attention to the conversion process and manually split the recording for each track, which can be a bit time-consuming.

   Tool	Devices	Output Formats	Conversion Speed	User-friendliness	Content Support	Source	Bit Rate
   Apowersoft Online Audio Recorder	Web-based	MP3	Real-time recording	High	Music (Tracks, Playlists, Albums, Radio Stations), Podcasts, Audiobooks (Spotify Premium)	Exclusively Spotify	N/A

Part 4. Using Third-Party Tools

You can use services like Telegram bots or Siri Shortcuts to easily turn Spotify tracks into MP3 files. Just send your Spotify playlist link to a Spotify downloader bot you find, and they'll give you MP3 download links. But there are downsides: sometimes it breaks Spotify's rules, and downloads might not be reliable or safe since they're not just from Spotify. Plus, finding reliable services can be tough - they often disappear fast or stop working, so we suggest ViWizard Spotify Music Downloader for the best results.

1. Siri Shortcuts

   You can make your iPhone or iPad do cool tricks with Siri Shortcuts. For Spotify, you can set up shortcuts to find your favorite playlists and download them for free, sometimes even as MP3 files. If you're not sure how to set it up, you can grab pre-made shortcuts like "Spotify Playlist DL (Jan)" from contributors. But it's tricky to download Spotify playlist as MP3s because of limits set by Spotify's rules.

2. Telegram Downloader Bot

   Telegram Downloader Bot is another nifty tool for getting Spotify tracks as MP3 files. This bot works right within the Telegram app, making it super convenient. All you need to do is send the bot a link to your Spotify playlist, and it'll give you download links for the tracks in MP3 format.

Part 5. Using Web Extension

Web extensions are like little add-ons for your web browser that make it do extra stuff. Big names like Spotify VK Downloader and Deezer & Spotify Downloader are designed to work smoothly with the Spotify Web Player, giving you new features like a download button. But unfortunately, most of them have been kicked out of the official stores for breaking rules or causing legal problems. You can no longer find Spotify VK Downloader or Deezer & Spotify Music Downloader in the Chrome Web Store. So, choose your extension wisely, or opt for a dedicated software like ViWizard Spotify Music Converter for a safer bet.

1. Spotify VK Downloader

   

   Spotify VK Downloader, also called Spotiload, is a Chrome extension made for grabbing tracks from the Spotify Web Player. It does this by using sources like VKontakte (VK), a Russian social media site known for sharing music, even if it's pirated. Since Vkontakte is known for hosting pirated content, there used to be legal concerns associated with using this extension.

2. Deezer & Spotify Music Downloader

   

   Deezer & Spotify Music Downloader is a Chrome extension that helps you download music from both Deezer and Spotify. It works similarly to Spotify VK Downloader by adding a download button to the Spotify Web Player so you can save playlists to MP3. However, both Spotify and Deezer ban users for pirating their services.
