Part 1. Can You Use a Spotify Song as a Phone Ringtone?
Spotify offers more than 100 million songs, covering about every genre from every part of the world that you can think of. So, there isn’t any reason why Spotify is not the best source for ringtones. But can Spotify songs be directly set as iPhone or Android phone ringtones?
Unfortunately, directly setting a Spotify ringtone isn't possible due to digital rights management (DRM) restrictions. DRM aims to protect the copyright holder’s rights and prevent content from unauthorized distribution and modification. So, though Spotify allows Premium subscribers to download songs to their devices for offline listening, these downloads are DRM-encrypted and can't be accessed from devices other than the Spotify app. This makes it challenging to extract and use the downloaded songs as ringtones.
Moreover, most smartphones require ringtones to be in specific formats and lengths. For example, Android requires a 30-second music file whose extension is ".mp3" or ".m4a". But Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis to deliver all audio on its apps. Although Ogg is better than MP3 for sound quality, MP3 is a universal audio file format with better compatibility than Ogg. Therefore, you need to convert Spotify Ogg songs to your device-supported audio format.
