How many MBs per song?

How many MBs per song?

My girlfriend would like to know how many MBs are in each song as she has a 3GB USB Modem and would like to use the software but also doesn't want her internet used up by the software.

 

How many songs roughly would she be able to listen to without affecting her internet too much?

 

She's on a free trial premium account if that helps with answering the question.

Hey! 🙂 

 

It is hard to give exact numbers since Spotify will cache tracks locally so it only needs to download them once to save bandwidth. But roughly:

On normal desktop quality (160kbps) a single song is 4.7MB

On high quality (320kbps) a single song is 9.4MB
