Part 3. FAQs About Playing Spotify on LG Smart TV

To help you get the best streaming experience on your big screen, we have compiled the answers to the most frequently asked questions from LG TV users.

1. Is the Spotify app free on LG Smart TV?

Yes, downloading the Spotify app from the LG Content Store is completely free. However, if you are using a Spotify Free account, your listening experience will include audio ads, and you cannot play songs offline. For an ad-free, offline experience without paying for Premium, converting your playlists to a USB drive is a great alternative.

2. Why is the Spotify app crashing or not working on my LG TV?

The Spotify app may buffer, crash, or fail to open due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, outdated TV firmware, or a corrupted app cache. You can fix this by updating your LG TV’s webOS, reinstalling the Spotify app, or restarting your router. If network instability persists, playing your converted Spotify MP3 files via a USB port is the most stable workaround.

3. Can I play Spotify offline directly on my LG Smart TV?

No, the official Spotify app for smart TVs does not currently support the offline downloading feature, even if you have a Premium subscription. The only way to listen to Spotify offline on an LG TV is to convert the tracks to MP3 format using a dedicated tool like the AudFun Spotify Music Converter and play them locally through a plugged-in USB flash drive.

4. Can I control the LG TV Spotify app from my phone?

Yes! You can use the Spotify Connect feature. Simply open the Spotify app on your mobile phone or tablet, play a song, and tap the “Devices Available” icon. Select your LG Smart TV from the list, and your phone will act as a smart remote control.
