Best Spotify downloader app for premium songs and playlists?

If you like the free, open-source nature of Spot-DL but prefer a graphical user interface (GUI) or a simpler installation process, Spotube is the most frequently used Spotify downloader app. It supports Spotify songs, tracks, albums, playlists and podcasts.

Type: Free, Open-Source, Cross-Platform Desktop App

Key Advantage: Privacy-Focused Streaming/Downloading. It acts as an unofficial Spotify client that uses YouTube/YouTube Music as the backend for audio streaming and downloading. It allows you to log in with your Spotify account, browse your playlists and library, and then streams the matched song from YouTube, avoiding ads and tracking.

Quality: Dependent on the matched source (typically YouTube/YouTube Music).

Compatibility: Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

How to Guide for Spotify Downloader:

Navigate to the official Spotube download page and select the correct installer for your operating system.

You will need to go to the Spotify Developer Dashboard and create a new Web API application. This is free and simple.

Once the app is created, you will be given a Client ID and a Client Secret.

When you first launch Spotube, you will be prompted to enter the Client ID and Client Secret you just copied from the Developer Dashboard.

After entering the credentials, Spotube will redirect you to a Spotify login page to authenticate the app you just created. Once authorized, Spotube will load your entire Spotify library, including your playlists and saved albums.
