If you've ever used a Samsung device, you know you can link Spotify to your phones, Galaxy Watch, Smart TV, or SmartThings speaker. By logging into both accounts and following the prompts, Samsung users can use voice commands with Bixby, switch devices, and access playlists across multiple devices. For example, a Spotify playlist started on a phone can play instantly on a Samsung TV.

Many Samsung users might expect that Samsung Music and Spotify work seamlessly together. Samsung Music can detect Spotify tracks in its library, and older Samsung devices even included a built-in Spotify tab, giving the impression that playback was seamless. Unfortunately, Spotify music tracks will not play unless they are transferred to Samsung Music. Once transferred, Samsung Music can read and play them like any other audio file.

This guide walks users through each step, showing how to get Spotify music playing smoothly on Samsung devices, just as expected.

Steps:
  1. Convert Spotify Music: Use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter to remove DRM and save your Spotify songs as MP3, FLAC, or WAV files.
  2. Transfer to Samsung Devices: Move the converted files to your Samsung phone, tablet, or other device via USB, micro-SD, or cloud.
  3. Open in Samsung Music: Launch Samsung Music to see your Spotify songs in your Samsung Music library.
  4. Play Spotify in Samsung Music: Create playlists, shuffle songs, or play albums with the transferred Spotify tracks in your Samsung Music library.

Step 1: Convert Spotify Music for Samsung Music Playback

The first step is to convert your Spotify tracks into a format Samsung Music can read. Spotify songs are protected by DRM, so they won't play directly in Samsung Music or most other media players. Even if you use a Premium subscription to download playlists or albums to your Samsung device, they are mostly cached files, not true audio files like MP3 that Samsung Music can recognize. That's why you need ViWizard Spotify Music Converter to remove the protection and turn Spotify music into local audio files.

What You Need: ViWizard Spotify Music to Samsung Music Converter

ViWizard Spotify Music Converter works for both Premium and free users. It can save playlists, albums, radios, podcasts, and even audiobooks as MP3, FLAC, or WAV files that Samsung Music can play. The tool removes the restrictions that stop Spotify music from working on apps or devices like Samsung Music. It also keeps your songs' original quality, metadata, and even lyrics. After conversion, you can transfer your Spotify music files via USB, micro-SD card, or cloud service. It's flexible and easy to use.

Step 2: Transfer Converted Spotify Songs (Playlists) to Your Samsung Device

Next, move the converted Spotify songs to your Samsung device.

Step 2 The app will scan your storage and load any supported audio files. Wait for the scan to finish, and your transferred Spotify songs will appear.
