Music purchases

Spotify isn’t just good for streaming, it’s also great for downloads. With Spotify you can purchase individual tracks and albums and keep them as MP3s. This comes in handy if you use an older iPod or MP3 player and want music on the go. If you like to ‘try before you buy’ you can do it all with Spotify.

If a track or album is available for purchase a little ‘Buy’ button will be displayed next to it. Simply click it and without leaving Spotify, you’ll download the MP3 files.

Music you’ve purchased can be downloaded 3-5 times depending on which label the music comes from. The files are in MP3 format and most of them are either 256 or 320 kbps – the quality is specified when purchasing. The files are also playable in Spotify (under ‘Purchases’) as long as they remain on your hard drive.
