How To Download Music Onto Spotify
Spotify is known for its streaming, but you can also import local music from your computer and listen to it. It's an easy way to listen to music stored on your hard drive alongside a seemingly endless supply of additional songs. Here's how to import local songs to Spotify, using the desktop app:
Step by Step Guide:
1. Open the Desktop Application and Log in.

2. This step will vary depending on your OS.
• For Windows: Click on ‘Edit’ and then click on ‘Preferences’.

• For Mac: Click on ‘Spotify’ and then click on ‘Preferences’.

3. Find the option ‘Local Files’. If you can't see it, scroll down.

4. Click on ‘Add Source’.

5. Go to the desired folder/s which contain your music files.

6. To add the folder highlight it using your mouse and add it.
7. Click on OK.
8. To add more files just repeat the whole process.
9. To remove any files/folders just uncheck them from the Add Source menu.

You can quickly mark a few Spotify playlists and make them available offline directly from your phone — your computer doesn’t need to be on because you download tracks directly from Spotify’s own server.

Iphone

Connect to a Wi-Fi network to do this procedure when possible, rather than 3G, because Wi-Fi is probably a lot faster and, depending on your data plan, should cost less, too.

There’s an option in your settings that allows you to turn syncing over 2.5G/3G networks on or off to avoid unnecessary data costs. On the iPhone, go to Settings and ensure the Sync over 2G/3G switch is in the Off position (it appears gray, not green, when it’s set to Off). On Android, go to More→Settings and make sure Sync over 3G is unchecked.

iPhone and Android devices are the most popular. For those of you using another device, the information in the following sections should still help you find your way, and you can also check the Spotify Mobile page for help.

Sync offline Spotify playlists by using the iPhone

How

To copy tracks on to your iPhone and listen to them later without a data connection, follow these steps:

  1. Open Spotify on your mobile device.

  2. Select Playlists at the bottom-left of the window to access a list of your playlists (if they don’t already appear), and then touch Edit at the top-right to enter Edit mode.

    On the right side of each playlist while in Edit mode, you see the Sync symbol, represented by a down arrow. Any green sync symbol means the playlist has already been synced to your phone; if it’s gray, it isn’t available in Offline mode.

  3. Mark any playlists you want to make available offline by tapping their gray symbols.

    Any playlists you tap turn green.

  4. When you finish selecting playlists, touch Done.

    The syncing process begins, as long as you’re online and connected to Wi-Fi (if you’ve turned syncing over 2.5G/3G off in your settings).

You can also sync playlists while you’re actually in one. On the iPhone, swipe your finger across the silver Available Offline switch at the top-right of the screen to turn Offline mode on (or off). When on, the switch is green and says Yes. When off, it’s gray and says No.
