Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.
Spotify allows Premium users to download up to 3,333 songs on up to three total platforms, meaning that you could download a total of 9,999 songs across a computer, a tablet, and a smartphone. Spotify pays the same for a stream of a 1-min song as for a 10-min song; The shortest duration Spotify will pay for is 30 seconds. This is the most efficient money maker. A 30-second song can only be uploaded as part of an album; the album’s songs must average 1-min in length; Finally, Spotify pays between $0.0035 and $0.005 per stream. Reinstall Spotify. If you are still stuck with waiting to download, I suggest you to uninstall Spotify once and then reinstall it again. After uninstalling clear your cache once again as shown above and then reinstall Spotify, then sign in and try downloading that playlist or album which you were trying to download earlier.

- .mp3
- .m4p (unless it contains video)
