Can I listen to Spotify offline without premium?
I’ve been using Spotify a lot lately on my commute and at work, but my data plan is pretty limited and streaming is eating it up fast. I know the official way is to subscribe to Premium and download ...
If you just want an offline library on your Win 11 PC, I use yt--dlp for content I’m allowed to download (my own uploads, copyright-free / licensed tracks on YouTube etc.), then play those locally while keeping Spotify as a streaming app:
yt--ddlp -f mp3 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"or let it pick the best audio:
yt---ddlp -x --audio-format mp3 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"That way I still have an offline library for commuting, but I’m not breaking Spotify’s wall just to listen to Spotify offline without premium.
