Android: How to store offline music on the external SD card

Some Android phones have both internal storage and an SD card slot. In order for Spotify to use the SD card for storage of offline playlists, you will need to manually specify which folder you want it to use. Please keep in mind that your offline playlists will need to be re-synced after doing this:

  1. Open Spotify in your mobile
  2. Go to “More”, “Settings” and select “Clear saved data”
  3. Press More and then Log Out
  4. While at the login screen, press the hardware Menu key and select SD Location
  5. Enter the path to a folder on the SD card

Finding the exact path to your SD card can be done with a file manager, and can differ between phones. On the Samsung Galaxy S, for example, you should use:

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd

Spotify will then store tracks in this folder:

/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Android/Data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui
