How to avoid Spotify to try to open mp3 files?

How to avoid Spotify to try to open mp3 files?

Hello. I'm using android and when I download a mp3 file and try to open it, Spotify is the default app (I never chose it), and it can't play it.
How can I do to unlink mp3 files with Spotify? I wan't to use the default sound player of my phone.

Hey! I think this could be something to configure on your phone's Settings, rather than Spotify.

I don't have any .mp3 files to test on my phone, (plus I don't know which Android version or phone model you're using, so it might be different on yours) but you might be looking for something called "Default Apps" on your phone. Once you locate it, you just need to change Spotify to system sound player to open by default for mp3 file extensions. If you can't find this on your phone, you can either try sharing some more details on your device and OS version, or search online on based on your device's manufacturer.
