How to Export Spotify Playlists to Local Computer


"Hi all, I've been searching the forums, but can’t find my answer. Am I able to download playlists from Spotify? How can I export Spotify playlists to my laptop? I have premium. Please help!"

A lot of people are confused about the offline-mode that Spotify offers to the Premium subscribers. It’s said that Spotify Premium users are allowed to listen to Spotify songs offline. Does it mean that we are able to download playlists from Spotify to a local computer? If so, where can we find the Spotify downloads?

The truth is diappointing. We are not able to download Spotify playlists as local files. As a result, there’s no way for us to find the Spotify downloads. To be exact, the songs we listened to offline are not playable on our local computer. They are encrypted files stored in the Spotify cache location, instead of regular files like .mp3.


But there's an alternative way for us to export Spotify playlists to our local computer. What we need is a third-party Spotify tool - Sidify Music Converter, specially designed for downloading & transferring Spotify playlists to our PC/Mac. Here we are going to show you how to save Spotify playlists as local files with Sidify step by step.
