You only can stream with Spotify. In Premium you can also download to OFFLINE mode. This is feature for Premium users and can be used with any Spotify program like Spotify Mobile or Desktop.

You can not use this option with iPod.

thanks for that i was told that any music i got from spotify i could put onto my ipod, is this not the case?

Spotify music is encoded. Only Spotify application can read those files. And Spotify only available to selected devices like Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, Windows Phone, iOS, iPod Touch etc. But you can transfer to iPod your Local files without any problems.

You also can listen music in Spotify software as much as you want. For month fee you can not download all tracks you want, you only can stream those tracks. It's all about how Spotify is licensed with record labels.

well i'm from the US and i've a premium account but since i'm traveling in asia (currently in india) now, i thought i'd buy a low end smartphone. but unfortunately i cant find spotify in the android market. is there any other way to install spotify. maybe a direct install from my pc?

Have you tried navigating to m.spotify.com ? There should be a direct download available there.

i've just bought a samsung galaxy y and 30 day trial of spotify premium, but for some reason, my phone's only uploading random percentages of the various playlists i have saved there (31%, 7% etc). the wireless connection seems to be good, i have 16gb memory space and nothing else occupying it. it'd be wicked if you could give me a bit of advice. thank you so much!
