How to Find Downloaded Songs on Spotify

People used to download music on Napster and share the MP3 files with friends. But as the online streaming industry booms, many of us may have gotten used to listening to songs with the internet on.

There are times you can't reach the internet though. When you're commuting on a subway or taking a flight on a business trip, it'd be great if you still can tune in to your favorite songs. Spotify provides Premium user unlimited access to download any content you listen to on Spotify and makes them available for offline listening. In the following part, I'll show you how to find Spotify downloaded songs location and how you can access them without Spotify.

Where do Downloaded Spotify Songs Go?

It's pretty easy to download Spotify songs offline. All you need to do is toggle the Download button to green and songs will be stored on your devices. But finding these songs is not an easy task. Many have been struggling to find the downloaded files.

And it's also hard to find all your downloaded songs on Spotify since they're interspersed among all songs on your Library and playlists. Here is how to find downloaded songs on Spotify:

On Mobile App:

1. Open Spotify, go to Your Library > Liked Songs.

2. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner.

3. Tap Filter downloaded songs, then you'll see all the downloaded songs.

On Desktop App:

There's no such feature to filter downloaded songs on the desktop Spotify app, but you can go to Offline Mode to find Spotify songs on PC or Mac.

To enable Offline Mode:

1. Open the Spotify desktop app, click the three dots on the upper left corner.

2. Hover your mouse on File and click Offline Mode in the drop-down list.

Where are Downloaded Spotify Songs Stored?

When you download songs on Spotify, the downloaded files will be stored on your device. To locate Spotify songs, you'll have to go to a specific folder on your device:

On desktop:

1. Open Spotify > Settings

2. Scroll down to Offline song storage, and you'll see the location of your downloaded songs.

On Android:

Downloaded songs will be stored in Android/data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui/files/spotifycache/Storage/.

Note: Even though you can find downloaded Spotify songs locations, you can do nothing with these files in addition to listening to them on the Spotify app. Spotify songs are encrypted by Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3. Namely, you can't use these files without the support from Spotify and you can not play these files on other platforms. If you want to play your downloaded Spotify songs elsewhere, you can definitely manage to do that. Keep reading!
