2. Spotube

Spotube is an open-source client for macOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. It leverages Spotify’s Data API for browsing and metadata, while pulling audio streams from sources like YouTube, Piped, or JioSaavn.

While you need to log in with your Spotify account to access your library playlists, Spotube functions essentially as a YouTube client with Spotify descriptions. Downloads are saved as 128 kbps M4A. Because the audio is fetched from YouTube rather than Spotify, tracks may occasionally feature incorrect audio matches or longer songs with additional noise.

If you download entire playlists in bulk, your IP can get blocked on YouTube due to excessive download requests. IP block means you can’t use YouTube (even if you’re logged in) for weeks or months from that IP device. And Spotube doesn’t hold any responsibility if this ever happens.

1. Fildo

Fildo is an Android app that allows you to listen to and download MP3/FLAC on your Android devices.

  2. Tap More > IMPORT SPOTIFY.
  3. Sign in to your Spotify account, select the Spotify playlists you want to import.
