You’ll need to have already created an account and signed up for Spotify’s premium $9.99 membership service. Here’s how to download music from Spotify on the iPhone and iPad. The feature is perfect for long plane rides or commutes that don’t always offer a reliable mobile data connection. Besides streaming music without ads, Spotify Premium allows iPhone and iPad users to download entire playlists to their mobile device. It’s great for that, but those who want to ditch the service’s advertisements have to sign up for Spotify Premium, a monthly subscription service that works hand-in-hand with the app to provide a better listening experience. Here’s the thing, primarily Spotify is used by most as a free streaming music service with curated playlists. When they’re away from home, Spotify’s millions of users login into the service’s iPhone and Android apps to check out what is new in the music community. Everyday millions of people log into the service’s Mac and PC apps to create playlists and stream from its huge cache of music.

It isn’t up for consideration anymore, Spotify is by far the world’s most widely used subscription music service.
