Method 2. Upload Spotify Songs to Kodi to Play Music Offline

Considering that you can play Spotify music on Kodi for free, it's easy to see why we've decided to mention Spotify first as our choice for online music streaming. However, there's a catch. With a free account, basic features are free with advertisements and limited control. Free users will hear 15 or 30-second ad breaks while playing Spotify on Kodi. Sick of having your music interrupted by ads? Luckily, apart from playing streaming media from the Internet, Kodi can play common digital media files from local and network storage media. So, you can try to upload ad-free Spotify downloads to Kodi and play them offline.

Spotify uses OGG Vorbis for music streaming and the audio files are DRM-encrypted. When it comes to adding music to Kodi, you need to make sure that your songs are converted into Kodi-supported DRM-free audio files. Otherwise, the audio can't be played on Kodi. To make songs from Spotify playable in your Kodi player, 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, playlists, albums and podcasts. Once DRM is removed, you can convert them to widely used audio formats like MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, WMA, etc. So you can download music from Spotify to Kodi, MP3 player, or any other device for offline streaming. After that, you can get a Spotify no ads music experience without getting Spotify Premium.
