Spotify Premium

[thedelbwa]

Here’s the scenario: I’m getting married soon and have put a playlist together on Spotify for the day. The place I’m getting wed, however, has patchy wi-fi and quite poor mobile reception too. Therefore, I was wondering, if I subscribe to Spotify Premium, can I then sync the playlist with my laptop / iPhone and play it in ‘offline’ mode without a problem..?

Any info appreciated, particularly from those who’ve used Spotify Premium for a similar purpose.

I have done a bit of research online, but wanted to get the opinions of those who’ve used it before.

Thanks.

Not so sure you are doing this in a very good way....

For a start I can't help thinking the adverts every few tracks might spoil the flow of the wedding....

Would it not be easier to simply purchase the tracks from somewhere like itunes or amazon (normally about 79p each) and play those

Hi - thanks for your answer. With Premium, you get no adverts. And, believe me, I have given this a lot of thought (!) about the best way to do this. I have a playlist with about 40 tracks on for background music during drinks, meal, etc and figured that £9.99 for Spotify Premium was better value than buying all the songs off iTunes. I've seen a video or two online that Spotify have posted, showing how 'easy' it all is, but just fancied getting a 2nd / 3rd opinion off folk on here...

You still need to be connected to the internet. Any version of spotify does not allow you to download tracks to play offline.

then why risk the dissapointment?

Just for info (given the general confusion above)...

Spotify Premium has no ads, is £9.99 per month, and yes, you CAN sync it so you can listen to sync'd playlists whilst offline. I've been subscribing ever since my wedding, and it is better value than buying downloads / CD's, as I have a more or less endless choice of music straight to my laptop and iPhone, so I can listen to it on the Tube / in the car through the stereo without poor reception spoiling my enjoyment.

Hi
Sure.
You can subscribe to Spotify Premium, then sync the playlist with your laptop / iPhone's Spotify app and play it in ‘offline’ mode smoothly.
While these songs can only be played on Spotify app, not on other devices.
Maybe you could use third-party tool like AudFun program (Spotify playlist downloader)
