How to Upload Spotify Music to iCloud for Backup Effortlessly

Part 1. How to Get Spotify Music in iCloud

If you want to take your favorite Spotify music to more places, iCloud is one of the best choices. iCloud is Apple's cloud-based storage and synchronization service. It allows users to store their multimedia securely in the cloud and access them from multiple Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, Macs, and even Windows PCs. iCloud also provides features like automatic device backups. If you choose to upload Spotify music there, basically you create a backup of your music in iCloud.

Currently Spotify allows you to download music from Spotify if you are a Premium subscriber. However, your downloads are stored as cached files and only available within the Spotify app and are not transferrable to other devices or platforms like iCloud.

Uploaded: If the status of a song is "Uploaded", it indicates that the song has been uploaded to iCloud Music Library because it couldn't be matched with a track from the iTunes Store. You can still stream or download your original uploaded file.
