Spotify URI: Convert Spotify URI to MP3 with Ease

With Spotify, you can access up to 50 million songs and over 700,000 podcasts. But when you share your favorite track, album, artist, or playlist with your friends, what will you do? You might be familiar with the method Spotify offers to share songs on those social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter with album artwork. Or copy the URL of the song and send the Spotify link to your friends for sharing.

However, Spotify has more options for users to share Spotify songs and favorites. That is to use a Spotify URI, which will direct you straight to the Spotify app for playing. In this post, I will introduce you what is a Spotify URI, how to get it, as well as, how to use it. And at the end, I will also show you how to download and convert Spotify URI to MP3.

What is A Spotify URI?

URI is short for Uniform Resource Identifier is a string of characters that identify a certain type of resource. Different from URL (Uniform Resource Locator) which is more commonly used to access a webpage, URI will direct you to the specific app or client on your device rather than an internet domain. And by clicking on a Spotify URI, you'll be directly taken to the Spotify client on your computer without going through the webpage in advance.

How to Get Spotify URI?

It's easy to find and get Spotify URI with the Spotify client. To find Spotify URI, just perform the following steps on your computer.

1. Open the Spotify app on your desktop, and turn to the specific song, album, artist, playlist, or podcast you want to share.

2. Move your mouse over to the title and then right-click on it.

3. Click Share and select Copy Spotify Link. Now you get the Spotify URI copied to your clipboard.

Can I get Spotify URI on the mobile app?

Unfortunately, there's no such an option on the Spotify mobile app. But you can go to spotifycodes.com and enter the Spotify URI. The website will generate a Spotify URI Code. Then you can use the Spotify mobile app to scan the code, and you will be taken to the page of the song.

How to Use Spotify URI?

A Spotify URI looks like spotify:track:1Qq7Tq8zZHuelGv9LQE2Yy. To use it, just paste the link to your internet browser's address box or into the Spotify search box.

On the Spotify app, you will be directed to the source by entering Spotify URI. However, when you enter the Spotify URI on the internet browser, a prompt will show up to ask you to open the Spotify app. Then simply click Open Spotify, then you'll be taken to the source.
