OK, I have a question.

If I get Spotify Premium, can I download albums to my computer? Saving albums on Spotify doesn't do me much good, as I am an iPod guy and don't listen to music on my phone.

However, I see that they mention no internet needed. I just don't want to use data if I do listen on my phone.

Someone school me please.

TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

I believe they save on your computer/phone so you don't use data. It's not like a saved MP3 or anything though.
I don’t know what to put here anymore

But do they save on my computer Spotify, or can I load the files into a music folder on my computer? So I can load onto my iPod?

As far as I remember they are stored as ogg files, but they are encrypted with DRM, so even if you could find the files themselves, you would have to break the encryption first.

Translate. It's possible.

I don't have an Ipod and I don't know what Ipod Classic means.
It's one of the models:



I have one that I modded.  I have a solid state hard drive that holds a terabyte of information, but I've exceeded the capacity of the iTunes database (over about 30,000 songs it can get wonky on the iPod, and I'm at like 36,000; it barely works).   I'm probably going to mod a second one and have two.  Shitty solution, but I do like the iPod format and functionality.  If I can figure out an alternative - for example, I have my dad's old new Samsung phone - I'll use that.

I'd love to have a portable, one-stop device to hold my entire collection until I can get the streaming functionality set up from my network drive.

I have a question..

What has happened to Spotify? I used to be able to view my Saved albums but now it seems I can only access them in a Liked Songs list?

I liked it the old way better. Seems like it changed a week or two ago. Is it a Settings issue?
