Playlists are one of the most convenient ways of organising your favourite music according to your preferred genres, mood or activity, and if you’re consistently on-the-go or just can’t trust the spotty internet connection in your area, you might want to consider downloading your music on Spotify, including entire playlists, for offline playback.

Spotify playlists can be downloaded using three different methods — via Your Library tab, or the toggle button on the playlist page or download option inside the playlist options. Note that only Premium Spotify members can download songs for offline listening. So, to gain access to any of the steps below, you’ll need to buy a Spotify Premium subscription or sign up for a free trial.

Here are three methods to help you download Spotify playlists on your PC and Android or IOS device.
