Part 1. How to Download and Transfer Spotify Songs to USB with Premium

If you have a Spotify Premium account, you can save music offline directly within the Spotify app. By changing your storage path to a USB drive, every download you make will be stored on that drive. This method only caches DRM-protected files for playback in Spotify, but it offers a hassle-free way to download Spotify music to USB without extra software.

1. Plug your USB drive into your computer. If it isn't formatted for media storage, follow any prompts to format it.
2. Open the Spotify desktop app. Go to Settings > Storage. Scroll to Offline storage location.
3. Click Change location and select your USB drive. All future downloads will be stored there. Previous downloads remain on internal storage unless you delete and redownload them.

4. Browse for playlists, albums, or podcasts you want offline. Click the Download button next to each item. Spotify will save DRM-protected cache files on your USB drive.

Note: These cached files only play within the Spotify app. To use them elsewhere, you'll need conversion tools.
