Can you download music from spotify to usb for listening on my car
Spotify downloads are encrypted using DRM, which prevents the files from being opened or played outside the Spotify app. Even if you use Spotify Premium, the songs are stored in a hidden folder on your device as cache files, not standard audio formats like MP3 or WAV. This encryption ensures that the downloaded tracks cannot be copied, transferred, or used with other apps or devices.
Because of this protection, your car’s audio system cannot read or recognize Spotify’s downloaded files. Cars expect normal audio files, but Spotify’s encrypted cache files are unreadable to anything except the Spotify app. That’s why the only way to play Spotify in a car is by streaming through Bluetooth, AUX, CarPlay, or Android Auto — not by transferring the downloaded files.
You need to find other ways to download music from spotify to usb and it is easy to find them online.
