To play Spotify music on LG smart TV with the methods mentioned above, you may be required to be a Premium subscriber to unlock some exclusives contents and features.

For this, you'll want to download your favorite Spotify music into playable files without Premium.

Fortunately, ViWizard Spotify Music Converter could let you enjoy Spotify music on LG Smart TV directly without the Spotify app, even you don't have a network connection.
