Cant download songs

[ErickSFernandes]

Hello, recently I have bought a new HD and I have not been able to download my songs, am I doing something wrong? I do not find the download button, and yes, I have logged out and in, I only have 2 devices, and I am not anywhere near 3,333 songs.

By the way, I am able to download it on my phone, so I really have no idea lol.

Hey @ErickSFernandes

The "songs, albums, and artists" sections in the desktop app do not yet have the ability to be downloaded.

According to the support article you can only download playlists:

https://support.spotify.com/using_spotify/search_play/listen-offline/

I suggest to add all of the songs to a playlist by pressing CTRL + A and then right click add to playlist 

1. Click on the playlist you want to make available offline.
2. Switch on Download at the top of the playlist. While tracks are downloading, a circling arrow symbol will display next to them. 
   Note: You can only download playlists that you follow, or have created yourself.
3. You can see download progress in the left-hand column. The  will also display next to playlist titles.
   
4. The green download arrow  means it’s finished downloading.
5. To start listening to your music without the internet, select Spotify > Offline Mode (Mac) / File > Offline Mode (Windows) in the menu bar at the top. 

Tip: You automatically enter Offline Mode any time you lose your internet connection.
