[Summary]: Can't sync Spotify to iPod Classic for offline listening? Get detailed tutorial to remove DRM and stream Spotify music on iPod Classic.
Spotify is the most popular streaming music service, and iPod Classic is one of the best MP3 players. Many users want to enjoy Spotify music on iPod Classic. Unfortunately, there is no Spotify app for the iPod Classic. Songs downloaded by Spotify Premium are DRM-protected Ogg Vorbis files that cannot be played on iPod Classic. To play your favorite Spotify songs on your iPod Classic, as well as iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle, you can use a Spotify Music Converter provided below to download Spotify songs as MP3 or M4A, which is the audio format supported by iPod Classic. Before we get started, you can first understand what Spotify is.
CONTENTS
Spotify is one of Sweden's leading music streaming services, with a rich music collection that allows users to stream their favorite music from this huge audio streaming platform. To attract more subscribers, Spotify offers new users a 30-day free subscription experience. At the end of the day, they will be charged a certain subscription fee. A basic Spotify Premium plan for one user is $9.99 per month. A family plan costs $14.99 per month. If you have upgraded to Spotify Premium, I believe you will only get a better experience. You can get all the features such as "free of ads", "enhanced sound quality" especially the feature to listen offline you are required to subscribe to the Premium service.
Pros
1. Ad-free listening.
2. Offline listening
3. New releases: Artists can withhold their new songs from Spotify Free for up to two weeks.
4. Music quality: Free listeners can only listen to music at 160Kbps. Premium subscribers have access to 320Kbps, which is virtually indistinguishable from CD quality.
