This quick guide will show you step-by-step how to find, download, or share Spotify Playlists. You can download songs, albums, podcasts, and Spotify playlists.

You can only download Spotify playlists from the desktop or mobile app. The download option is NOT available on the web player.

To download a playlist:
1, you require an active premium subscription.
2, you must go online at least once every 30 days. Without these two requirements, you will lose your downloads.
For all the demos in this guide, I used the Spotify desktop app on Windows 10 and the mobile app on Android.

How to Find Spotify Playlists

If you are using the spotify desktop app, there are two ways to find spotify playlists:

  1. Browse
  2. Search

From mobile app or web player, you can find spotify playlists using search.
