Spotify is an outstanding music streaming platform that has millions of songs, albums, and podcasts for you. You can freely get access to the platform with a free subscription plan but will have a limit on your usage.

Getting a premium account will lift the limits and give you the best experience. Although you should note that the Spotify offline mode will allow you to download your music but can’t play it outside the app.

If you are looking for a tool that will download songs from Spotify without a premium account as well as allows you to play it using other players, then you are in for a treat.
