How to Convert and Play Spotify in Poweramp Music Player

Step 1. Convert Spotify Music to Poweramp Music Player

Spotify songs are not like normal audio files. They are protected by DRM and stored as cached files inside the Spotify app. That means Poweramp cannot read them directly. So the first step is to convert Spotify music into MP3 or FLAC. This is the part where you save Spotify music directly to your computer, and the files will be ready for transfer to your Android phone or tablet.

ViWizard Spotify Music Converter is a beginner-friendly tool that helps convert and download Spotify tracks into a format that Poweramp can read, such as 320 kbps MP3 for casual listening, or lossless FLAC (up to 24-bit/44.1 kHz) for a serious music collection. Both free and Premium users can use ViWizard Spotify Music Converter, but FLAC is a Premium feature and requires an eligible account. Otherwise, you may end up with a different music experience. During conversion, ViWizard Spotify Music Converter also keeps the song information, like title, artist, and album artwork, so your library stays organized in Poweramp. Once converted, the files become normal audio files that Poweramp can easily read and play.

Step 1Install the Converter on Your Computer

Download and install ViWizard Spotify Music Converter on your Windows or Mac computer. Open the program and log in to your Spotify account. Both free and Premium accounts work. The converter includes a built-in Spotify interface, so you can search for music and playlists without leaving the app.

Step 2Add Spotify Tracks to Convert

Use the search bar to find your favorite songs, albums, or playlists, or paste a Spotify link directly into the converter. Then add the content to your conversion list. You can select a few tracks or a full playlist, depending on what you want to play in Poweramp.

Step 3Choose an Output Format Compatible with Poweramp

Go to the settings or preferences menu and select a common audio format that Poweramp supports. You can also adjust the audio quality and choose how files are organized, such as by artist, album, or playlist. This helps keep your music library clean and easy to browse inside Poweramp.

Step 4Convert and Save Your Spotify Music

Click the Convert button to start. The converter removes Spotify's DRM protection and saves your songs as normal audio files on your computer. When conversion finishes, open the output folder to find your files. These files can then be transferred to your Android phone and added to Poweramp, so you can play Spotify music without needing the Spotify app or an internet connection.

Step 2: Transfer Spotify Music to Your Android Phone

After converting, the next step is to move the files to your phone. It sounds simple, but it matters a lot. Poweramp can only play files stored on your device. You can transfer the files using a USB cable, a microSD card, or cloud storage. The key is to put the files in a folder that Poweramp can access. If the files are in a hidden folder or in a location Poweramp cannot scan, the app will not find them.

USB transfer usually works fine for simple drag and drop, but macOS users need the Android File Transfer software.

Transfer Music Files to Android from PC (Windows Explorer)

Step 1 Connect your Android phone to your Windows PC using a USB cable, then unlock your phone and choose File Transfer (MTP) if a prompt appears.

Step 2 Open File Explorer on your PC and click This PC, then select your Android device from the list.

Step 3 Open Internal storage (or your SD card if you use one).

Step 4 Create a new folder named Spotify Music to keep your files organized.

Step 5 Open the folder on your PC that contains the converted Spotify music files.

Step 6 Select the tracks you want, drag them into the Spotify Music folder on your phone, and wait for the transfer to finish.

Step 7 Safely disconnect your phone once the files are fully copied.

Transfer Music Files to Android from Mac (Android File Transfer)

Step 1 Install and open Android File Transfer on your Mac, then connect your Android phone using a USB cable.

Step 2 Unlock your phone and allow file access if prompted.

Step 3 In Android File Transfer, open Internal storage.

Step 4 Create a new folder called Spotify Music.

Step 5 Locate the converted Spotify music files on your Mac, usually in the Downloads folder.

Step 6 Drag the music files into the Spotify Music folder on your phone.

Step 7 Wait until the transfer completes, then safely unplug your phone.

Step 3: Import and Scan Spotify Music in Poweramp Music Player

Now comes the part where Poweramp finds your songs. The process is simple. Put the files in a normal music folder, open Poweramp, and let it scan. Poweramp scans your music folders to build its library. If the files are stored correctly, Poweramp will read the file tags and sort the songs into albums, artists, and playlists. If the tags are missing or wrong, the songs may appear in the wrong place. You probably know what happens when you use recordings or MP3s from random sources, and the results can be a nightmare in Poweramp.

That is why ViWizard Spotify Music Converter is helpful. It preserves the important info and removes the trouble caused by songs without proper ID3 tags. If you are transferring files converted by ViWizard Spotify Music Converter, this step will feel like a breeze.

Step 1 If you haven't already, download and install Poweramp Music Player from the Google Play Store.

Step 2 Open Poweramp, then tap the menu icon (☰) in the top-left corner.

Step 3 Tap Settings, then scroll down and select Library.

Step 4 Tap Music Folders to manage which folders Poweramp scans.

Step 5 When the Folders Selection screen appears, navigate to Internal storage and find the Spotify Music folder you created earlier.

Step 6 Tap the folder to select it, then tap Select Folders at the bottom.

Step 7 Poweramp will begin scanning the folder and adding the Spotify music tracks to your library.

Step 8 Return to the main screen, tap Library, then choose Folders.

Step 9 Open the Spotify Music folder, tap any track, and Poweramp will start playing it like any other local music file.

Step 4. Best Poweramp Audio Settings

Poweramp has many settings that can improve your sound, and using the right ones can make a big difference. You can adjust the equalizer to match your headphones, or change the output mode to get cleaner audio.
