How to locate Spotify songs on local Computer?


Spotify is not a source to download music. It is not like making a one time purchase of a CD and owning it forever. You cannot access the files for personal use. It is not a file-sharing system. Premium users can download Spotify songs, but Spotify saves music in an encrypted format. So you will need to stay signed up to your premium account in order to listen to them. Spotify downloads are stored in the Spotify cache location. On Windows, C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage is the default location. On Mac, the location is /Users/”yourusername”/Library/Caches/com.spotify.Client/storage.

Technically, Spotify downloads are cache files, you can do nothing with them even if you find Spotify download location. The offline music feature is only available for premium users at the moment, which means that once your premium subscription expires, you can’t listen to the downloaded songs.The downloaded songs on Spotify last for 30 days. You must go online every 30 days; otherwise, the downloaded songs will be deleted.
