The Spotify app will normally decide where to store content automatically based on which location has the most free storage space when you reinstall or clear the cache from the app settings. There is no way to specify where you want it to store data manually.

 

Does that not work for you?

To expand on what Peter said, you can force spotify to use your internal storage. Uninstall spotify, remove the external SD card and reinstall. Once you've done that, you can pop the SD card back in. 

 

Are you sure you really want to do this though? Internal storage space is pretty much at a premium for me 🙂

I did this the other day. All I had to do was undownload any tracks.... then go into settings and clear cache too. Just to be on the safe side I switched the device off and went back into Spotify and logged back in and redownloaded the playlists.

 

Then depending on where most of your storage is, Spotify will choose that location.

 

However since my downloads are now on my SD card I'm having trouble scrobbling to Last.fm, they show up on my connected facebook page but have yet to show up in Last.fm, I know that there can be a slight delay but only my listens from the desktop have been picked up. The 2 images show my 2 accounts that are synced with Spotify, facebook up to date with tracks I've listened to today whilst Last.fm is missing the same tracks.

I believe this may have something to do with storing the files on the SD card but I'd like some further info.
