How To Locate Spotify Songs On Local Computer - Sidify

Part 1: How to Locate Spotify Songs on Local Computer

It’s not difficult to locate where the downloaded Spotify songs are stored on the local drive, but they may be useless for you even if you find them at last. To check the location, you can simply open Spotify, go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Offline Songs Storage. The default storage location should be set to C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage. You can change it to another location if you’d like to.

Now you’ve found the files, but you cannot open any of them – or even identify the songs that the files hold. They are all listed as “FILE files”. And if you cancel your premium subscription, you may find nothing in the end. Why is that? Move on to learn more about the service and tips.

Spotify uses an encrypted file extension (Ogg Vorbis) as its streaming format- not an MP3 file. Thus, you are limited to downloading and playing the songs offline within Spotify and you cannot play them on other platforms. And if you discontinue the premium service, your account will be reverted to a Free ad-based service, and the songs you’ve downloaded from Spotify would be removed and you won’t be able to listen to them offline either.

At this point, you may be wondering whether there is a way to download songs from Spotify so that you can keep them on your local computer and listen to them whenever you are in the mood for music. Totally yes! But you must turn to a third-party tool – Sidify Music Converter.
