Wanted, mp3 for spotify

Legacy_user

I aim to buy my wife an mp3 player, and will transfer from my Spotify premium account via cable? from my chromebook. It must have a clip and possibly a screen, although that's not essential. I'm of the opinion that 1000 plus items will be added. Cost really dosent matter, but would like to keep under £40.

Maybe you can recommend something please?.

Don't think that is possible or no simple way?

I think you have to have the Spotify App ON the device

Music is not transferable for copyright reasons

Google search:



Generic mp3 players aren't supported, it needs to be an internet connected device with the ability to run a Spotify application

Bloody hell, I darent tell her that. She has an ipod shuffle with music on that I installed from iTunes years ago, but I finished with iTunes five or so yrs ago. I'm sure a read that I could transfer Spotify to the shuffle, but would have to remove everything from it first and she wouldn't want that, hence me prepared to buy a second device.

Really, she has an old phone which she only uses as a sort of walkie talkie in town and said she wondered if a phone would do what we want. I have several phones upstairs that are better than hers, so if I charge one up, remove her sim from current phone so in effect she has a better phone for walki talkie, what would I need to do then.

She has no idea how to use internet

You will have to put 'Spotify App' on phone and download tracks via wifi

you dont even need a SIM card in phone..........just use it as a spotify player for downloaded content

Spotify content only plays thru the App

PS If you have an ancient Android phone with little memory or sd card...........forget about it

I will go and look during evening and tell you the models. Presumably they have Internet on them although they are from my pre Internet days, if they have, I will connect via WiFi, install the Spotify app, transfer music and that should do it as you can listen to it off line. I did on aircraft. Stay tuned.

Just remember if you don’t go online with Spotify at least once every 30 days, any tracks you have downloaded for offline listening are automatically removed from your device.

See my post #7. You will need ample memory

I didn't know that, so will make a calendar note to do just that, does that mean I have to download something or just go online which they are able to see?
