Part 2. Add Spotify Music to Google Slides from Google Drive
The best method to add background music in Google Slides is via Google Drive. Why? Well, the first method above requires an internet connection to play the music you embedded in Google Slides. However, the internet connection is not available all the time. So, if you are forced offline (due to a lack of coverage or an outage), having some downloaded songs and uploading them to Google Drive for offline usage is a sensible idea. But how to put music on Google Slides with offline music files?
As we all know, only Spotify Premium users can download music on both mobile and desktop apps for offline listening, so it is difficult to get audio for your Google Slides with a free account. On the other hand, Spotify uses OGG Vorbis for music streaming, protected by DRM, so, any audio you purchase or download from Spotify can be only played on authorized devices and its platform. You can't get actual usage control of music even if you pay for Spotify Premium. In this case, you can't directly add Spotify downloads to Google Slides.
To make offline songs from Spotify playable in Google Slides, you do need the help of a third-party tool like AMusicSoft Spotify Music Converter. AMusicSoft Spotify Music Converter can remove DRM from Spotify songs. Without DRM, you can convert them to Google Slides-supported audio formats like MP3, M4A, WAV, WMA, etc. In this way, AMusicSoft makes inserting audio files into your presentation as painless as possible.
