Individual: Which Premium Spotify plan is best? How to download music in the Spotify mobile app Here's how to download Spotify music on the mobile and desktop apps. This was already available for the mobile app, but now laptop and desktop users can also enjoy downloaded music while offline. Perhaps one of the biggest updates arrived for premium members: You can now download tracks to a computer with the desktop app. You can also now write playlist descriptions and add cover images on desktop and web the same way you would on mobile. In addition to the fresh look, Spotify improved playlist creation by adding the ability to drag and drop tracks. In March, Spotify revamped its desktop and web apps to work more like the mobile versions, making the music streaming service easier to use across platforms.
