How to Save Spotify to an SD Card
Managing your music library can be a challenge, especially when you're on the go. If you use Spotify and enjoy listening to your favorite songs offline, you might be wondering: how do I save Spotify to an SD card? In this guide, we'll walk you through the process for both Android and iOS devices. However, for iOS users, you'll need to take an alternative route using a third-party tool. Let's dive in!
For Android Devices
To save Spotify music to an SD card on an Android device, you'll need to follow these steps:
Insert the SD Card: First, make sure your SD card is properly inserted into your device.
Open Spotify: Launch the Spotify app on your Android device.
Go to Settings
- Tap on the Home tab
- Tap on the gear icon (Settings) in the top right corner.
- Scroll down to the Storage section
- Tap on Storage.
- Select SD Card as your preferred storage option.
- Now when you download songs, albums, or playlists, they will be saved to your SD card.
For iOS Devices
Unfortunately, iOS devices do not allow direct storage of Spotify music to an SD card due to Apple's restrictions. However, you can still save your Spotify music by using a third-party converter tool and manually transferring the files to your SD card.
Steps for iOS Users:
Install TunePat Spotify Converter: Download and install the TunePat Spotify Converter app on your iOS device.
Convert Spotify Music
- Let TunePat analyze the Spotify songs, album, playlist, or podcast you want to convert.
- Add the titles you need to the Home page of TunePat Spotify Converter for later conversion.
- Finish the output settings on the Settings part.
- Click on the Convert option on the Home page to begin. You can do batch conversion if needed by clicking the Add More option here to add more songs.
Note: TunePat supports batch conversion, allowing you to add multiple songs for conversion at once.
Transfer Files to SD Card
- After the conversion is finished, insert your SD card into your computer's card reader.
- Open This PC/My Computer and double-click to open your SD card in the list of drives.
- Drag and drop or copy and paste the converted Spotify music files from the local folder to your SD card.
Tips: Always ensure that the SD card has enough available space before converting and transferring your files.
Important Notes:
Premium Subscription: You need a Spotify Premium subscription to download music for offline listening.
Storage Space: Ensure that the SD card has enough space for your downloads.
File Management: The downloaded Spotify files will be stored in a proprietary format, and you won't be able to access them directly from the SD card.
By following these steps, you should be able to save your Spotify downloads directly to your SD card on an Android device. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask!
