Downloading A Single Song

[Mattosaurus]

So I feel like a MASSIVE idoit for not knowing this, but I just got Spotify Premium and I was wondering; how does one download a single song?

[Dzdiode]

I just got Premium and I'm pissed of... On Android, can't download only songs I chose. I'm regretting it seriously.

Digging up an old thread here by, ive found a workaround if you’re interested. Create a playlist of your choice, then ensure that playlist is downloaded to offline. Then once done , add any song to that playlist and it will automatically download. Note you have to be a premium user

Thats "very cool", only to the time when you have seriously hundreds of songs and all needs to be downloaded, but i do not have enough space on my phone. When i switch to online streaming, than i do not have enough data or signal everywhere i go... Please leave us manage songs in playlists or/plus "songs" category, to be managed one one button as it is today or for others, specificaly by choosing whats needs to be online.

This has been partially answered, but I feel like people still need help with this. First, you need to flip to download switch is on for the playlists containing the certain songs you want. Now, make a new playlist (title it "download" or anything you want). Now add the specific songs you want to download to that playlist. Now, go to the download playlist and flip the download switch to on. After, each song finishes downloading you can turn off the download switch for all the other playlist you turned on originally (in step 1), and the only songs left downloaded will be the songs you have in the downloads playlist. This works for regular songs and local files too. If you want any other one specific song to be downloaded, put it in your normal playlist then put it in the download playlist as well, it will then be downloaded in both playlists.

Thanks for your answer... but that is not a good answer at all.

Now, make a new playlist

Now add the specific songs you want to download to that playlist.

Let's say for example, you want to save only last 500 songs on your smaller GB size iPhone for offline listening. Let's say that easy process take about 3-4 seconds on each song. This will consume about 30+ minutes and not for long time, because, when you update your main "plus songs playlist" with new songs, you need to count that in your "new playlist" - delete that number of songs, and add another new ones from "plus songs playlist" into "new playlist". This will consume easily another lifetime - no it is not good solution.
Maybe it was easier on PC, but i do not have one to service my "new playlist" each time, and it's mobile topic anyway, because of low GB storage on some devices, so PC will be not good answer eather.

GOOD solution, will be just make in downlaod page in settings - new slider with number of last favourite songs to be saved in your iPhone and that's it.

Hey,

 Could you be a little bit more explicit about how to do this from the “album view “.  I go to album view I don’t see any options to download a single track. This is what I see when I select a single track from an album.

[empmnsbo]

You can only download songs from a playlist you have created, so what you are attempting to do by going to an artist's album and flipping the download switch won't work, because there isn't a download option on artist's albums.

First of all, you will have to excuse me,  because, at some parts of your response, your English is very difficult to. I get it as I am a non-native English speaker (and it appears that you are as well). Now, if you have over 500 songs, there is no reason you should be attempting to download these on your iPhone because it will take up all your storage (regardless of whether my method of song downloading or yours is used). The method you presented for downloading at the end of the song is the most difficult of all to understand b/c unlike your other sentences it doesn't have proper tenses, spelling, or sentence/grammatical structure (but as previously mentioned I understand being a non-native speaker). I will now attempt to understand what your method says: It appears you are telling the user to construct a new slider that saves your last favorited songs (you can't "favorite" songs on Spotify by the way; you can save them, but not favorite). Well, there is no download page in settings, you cannot edit the programming of Spotify to create "new sliders", and songs can't be favorited, so your method is completely impossible. You are complaining that my method takes too long, but there is no way to move songs over in mass to another playlist, so this is the only option.

Instead of going to 'songs' section, go to 'albums'. Find album, which your song is from and press it. Album will open, but will show only the songs you have saved. Now press download button and only songs from that list will be downloaded.

No one in this thread has brought up this additional issue yet: saving single local file songs for custom playlists. Let me explain.

Ray Charles' "Georgia on my mind:"it's not on Spotify anymore (not the studio version anyway). It IS, however, on Itunes. So, I bought the single from Itunes and now it is in my "local files" folder on Spotify. 

Now, I've made a "Tribute to Ray Charles" playlist on Spotify, but since the song is a local file - the song won't show up on my mobile. I COULD download the entire 'tribute' playlist just so I can have that one song available for offline. Still, there needs to be a better way.

Spotify really needs to fix this. But what I do is have a playlist with the download switch on and when I want to download a song I add it to said playlist and there ya go.

[paygrant]

I'm completely new to spotify but...... would it work to download a single song if you made 1 "playlist" with only that 1 song on it? Or, just made a playlist of all the single songs you want to download together?

[empmnsbo]

yes, both of those would work
