How to Download a Spotify Playlist (Song by Song)

You've got the perfect playlist — the one for running, the one from your trip, the one that sums up your year — and you want to take it offline outside Spotify. Let's be honest here: there's no magic button that downloads an entire Spotify list as a ZIP. What you can do is paste the playlist's link into PullVid, see all of its songs, and download the ones you want as MP3, one at a time. In this guide we walk you through that real method, no smoke and mirrors.

You no longer have to go song by song by hand

It used to mean opening the playlist, copying one song's link, pasting it, downloading, and starting over with the next. Not anymore: paste the link to the whole list and PullVid shows you its songs with each artist and title. You pick the one you want and download it. No more bouncing between the app and your browser.

Why there's no bulk download (and who promises it anyway)

Spotify's audio is protected with DRM and can't be extracted directly. PullVid gets each song by looking up that same track on YouTube using its artist and title, and it does so one at a time. Any site that promises to "download your entire Spotify playlist with one click" or a ZIP file with everything inside either doesn't work or is bait to serve you ads. The honest approach is what we do: we show you the whole list and you download track by track, with full control over what you save.

How to download the songs in a playlist

1. Open the playlist in Spotify: in the app or on the website, go into the list you want to save.
2. Copy the playlist's link: tap the three dots on the list → Share → Copy Link.
3. Paste it into PullVid: you'll see the list's songs, with each artist and title.
4. Pick a song and download it: tap the one you want and get it as MP3. Repeat for any others.

What about a whole album?

It works the same way. Copy the album's link from Spotify — three dots → Share → Copy Link — and paste it into PullVid: you'll see its tracks and can grab the ones you want as MP3. It's the same method as a playlist, so if what you were after was downloading a Spotify album, you've got it.

A trick to keep your place

For very long lists we show you the first songs and tell you how many there are in total, so you always know where you stand. Going track by track has the advantage of only downloading the ones you truly want, without filling your phone with songs you might never play. Each file arrives clean, with no watermark.

What quality will the songs be

Each MP3 will have the quality of the audio available on YouTube for that track; we don't make up numbers or promise "320 kbps" for the whole list. For listening to the playlist on your phone, in the car, or with regular headphones, the result is more than enough. If you want to dig deeper into this, we cover it in downloading Spotify music in high quality.

Start with your playlist

Copy the list's link, paste it, and choose where to start. Open PullVid and try it with your favourite playlist. Remember to keep it personal — listening to the music yourself — and keep supporting the artists on Spotify. If it's just a single song, check the dedicated guide on downloading a Spotify song.
