Download my playlists

[user-removed]

I had to change iPhone and replace it with a new one, after I restored my iOS copy to the new one, all my music (+\- 3000 songs) GONE! I can not find a way to download the music continuously and it's becoming a pain!
Is there anyway I can download my music to have all back in OFFLINE, stored in my iPhone again? Is there a way to make a copy of my iOS on my computer for the future and awoke having to download all my music again?
Please let me know how to proceed thanks!

Are trying to download local files that were originally on your computer?

If not, and if you're just trying to download playlists that you have made or saved from Spotify, then it *should* just be a simple switch of the "Download" toggle in each playlist to ON. This will download all your playlists to your device to be available for listening offline.

If I'm not understanding the problem correctly could you go into a bit more detail about which playlists you're trying to save and how you're going about it?

Hi.
I had all my music ON, to listen off line as a premium member. Had all the files on my phone before i did the backup on itunes to switch the new phone. when i had the new phone i uploaded the old backup to my new phone, expecting to have all the songs in that backup, but surprisingly the songs were gone, and now im sitting here downloading more than 3000 songs slowly few by few at a time. As i can not find a way to leave the phone downloading all the music i have on «off line» mode.
My question are, how to make a backup on itunes and have all my songs/files from my phone go with the backup to storage. If thats not possible, how can i now download all my songs/files to my new phone in a more reasonable way? as right now i dont know how i can download them all faster instead of opening the app everytime to have 10+ songs downloaded at a time.

I see. So, unfortunately actual Spotify data is not included in a backup through iTunes or iCloud. The only thing included is the fact that the app was on your phone.

So, the only way to get your songs back is to redownload them as you are doing. But I'm not sure why you have to do just a handful at a time? You can just switch all of the playlists you want to download to ON, then leave the Spotify app open for a little while and it will just go through them all. On a decent wifi connection 3000 songs shouldn't take more than an hour or so I don't think. You could maybe leave it to finish overnight? Make sure you temporarily turn off Auto-Lock in your iOS settings, as Spotify needs the app to remain open and on-screen in order to continue downloading.

Hope that helps!

I've done that (downloaded with the iphone connected to my computer, but I just deleted songs I DIDN'T WANT on the computer (so now I have 160), but after the download my IPHONE says 183, so I'm assuming I AGAIN have ones I do not want on my iphone.

HELP!
