Part 1. Can Spotify Play on Two Devices at Once?

Many people ask if is it possible to play Spotify on multiple devices at once. Although there is no official Spotify feature that allows you to do so, you can use some workarounds to enjoy Spotify on two devices.

For Spotify Premium subscribers, the Offline Mode feature allows you to play Spotify on two different devices at the same time, while one device needs to be offline. Or you can make use of some features in Spotify to make music play on two devices at once. Features like Spotify Connect and Group Session can allow you to play Spotify on two devices at the same time.

If you only have a Spotify Free account and can’t access the advanced features, you may need the help of some third-party apps, like SoundHound and AmpMe. However, there are some limitations. A better idea is to download your preferred Spotify songs, playlists, or albums as local music files that can be transferred to other devices. Once done, you can easily and freely enjoy these local music files on multiple devices at the same time even without the Internet connection. The best tool to help you finish the converting process is the TunesMake Spotify Music Converter. Check more helpful information in Part 4.
