The popular music streaming platform Spotify allows users to stream music for free (however; with a small snag – ads!) and download songs for offline listening. The latter comes in handy when there is no internet connection. However, downloading Spotify music isn’t as easy as it sounds – a premium account is a must. Even then, Spotify doesn’t allow users to download an individual song. The song must be added to a playlist and then download that playlist to have it available offline. In an era when there is a plethora of apps that provide interventions to support, Spotify could be considered the show-stopper of the epoch. Spotify is a digital music streaming app that offers access to a wide range of songs in a diverse range of languages, either with or without ad campaigns. The platforms encompass not only streaming music but also podcasts and audio shows. Subscribers can also stream music at no cost (with ads) and download music for offline listening on the device. Offline listening could prove to be a boon when you don't have any sort of access to the internet connection. Regardless of whether you're traveling in the highlands when there is no internet connection or stuck in a metro, all you need to do is switch to Spotify offline music and you'll be all set to surpass boredom while also enjoying a leisurely session for yourself in the midst of a strenuous day. One thing to bear in mind is that a premium Spotify account is all you need to download music for offline streaming. The plans are moderately priced, ranging from Rs. 7 to Rs. 2149, and come with a variety of amenities such as ad-free music listening, offline listening, the ability to operate from multiple profiles, and a lot more.
