Q: “Hello there, is that possible to download my Spotify liked songs? I have about 250. Thanks for any suggestions.” – Lid999 from Spotify Community

As you discover new music on Spotify, tapping the heart icon (or the new “Plus” button) is the quickest way to save a track. Over time, your Liked Songs playlist becomes a curated collection of your absolute favorites. Naturally, you want to access this collection anytime, anywhere.

However, there is a catch. Even if you pay for Spotify Premium, the “download” feature only saves cache files. These files are encrypted and can only be played inside the Spotify app. You cannot transfer them to a USB drive, MP3 player, or burn them to a CD. Fortunately, there is a workaround. In this post, we will show you how to download Spotify Liked Songs to MP3 so you can truly own your music and listen offline on any device.

Part 3. How to Download Spotify Liked Songs via Online Downloader

If you don’t want to install extra software on your computer, using an online Spotify downloader is a decent alternative. Web-based tools like SpotMate allow you to download songs directly through your browser.

Note: While convenient, online downloaders have limitations compared to professional software (Part 1). They often have lower audio quality (usually 128kbps), contain pop-up ads, and may fail to download large playlists in one go.

Steps to Use an Online Spotify Downloader

Step 1: Copy the Link.
Just like in Part 1, you cannot copy a link to the “Liked Songs” folder directly. You must first move your songs to a new Playlist (as described above), or copy the link of a single song you want to download.

Step 2: Visit the Online Downloader.
Open your browser and navigate to a site like SpotMate.

Step 3: Paste and Download.
Paste the Spotify song or playlist link into the search field and hit “Start.” The site will process the link. You may need to click “Download” next to each individual song to save the MP3 to your device.
