Since Spotify’s latest (0.5.3.56) update, premium users on Android are not able store their offline music onto their external SD cards, which is a bit of a nightmare considering the limited capacity of standard internal storage of phones. I recently bought a Galaxy Note 2 and had been storing the music on the phone until today I realised I was running dangerously out of space.
Apart from backing up the songs, there are many reasons why we want to download Spotify music to USB. For example, play Spotify in the car, listen to Spotify songs on smart TVs, and enjoy Spotify on portable speakers through USB. The problem is that there is not an official way to copy audio files from the Spotify app.
Julian Young asked Spotify for an official comment and the response he received:
- So the DRM lock must be removed first if Free users want to download and save Spotify music on external SD card. NoteBurner Spotify Music Converter is the best Spotify Music Downloader to download music or playlist from Spotify and convert them to MP3, AAC, FLAC or WAV with 100% original quality.
- Spotify is a digital music service that gives you access to millions of songs. Spotify is all the music you’ll ever need. If your download didn't start, try again.
Yes you are right the new App does not support external SD cards and only focuses on internal systems. I am very sorry that your needs are not covered by this and I will happily forward your request to our development team. How to delete spotify from macbook.

Spotify light theme mac. However, on the same page and on various other sites including the official Spotify community, there are instructions on a workaround to this issue which I have successfully managed to implement. The following are the steps I took to accomplish this, so if you’re also looking to store your Spotify music on your external SD card, give it a go. It’s really straight forward and took me less than 5 mins in total.
- Uninstall the Spotify app from your phone
- Install an earlier version of Spotify – there are several online, but I used this one from Android Drawer
- Start the app but don’t login
- Select the SD location from your Android’s Menu button and locate your external SD card*
- Save and close (Some sites instruct you to log in and make one playlist available offline before closing down the app, but the app kept crashing on me).
- Go to Play Store, and update Spotify app
- Your offline playlists will now be stored on the external SD card while rocking the latest Spotify Android app!
