Part 6. How to Download All Your Spotify Songs to MP3

Want to take things a step further and keep your entire library offline, fully under your control? You'll need ViWizard Spotify Music Converter. Instead of being tied to one subscription and its rules, you can convert your songs, playlists, podcasts, or even audiobooks into MP3 or other common formats.

Once converted, your files are no longer restricted by DRM (Digital Rights Management). You can move them to any device, store them in the cloud, or even use them with apps that don't support Spotify. ViWizard doesn't set a download limit and works with both Premium and Free accounts. This gives you real flexibility - whether you want to listen on a plane without the app, play music through an old MP3 player, or build a permanent offline collection. It's about giving yourself more freedom with the music you already love.

Here's how it works: download and install ViWizard on your computer, then log into your Spotify account to access your full library. Select the songs, albums, or playlists you want and add them to the conversion list. In Preferences, customize the output format, bit rate, and other settings. Once everything looks good, click Convert, and the audio files will be saved directly to your device.
