'I have Spotify Premium and I'd like to sync my playlists (offline) to my iPod Shuffle. When I go to sync through Spotify - I see the warning on my playlists - 'Only local files Synced. I have made the playlists available offline, can anyone confirm that my scenario works and what steps I'm missing. Thanks in advance!'
Apple has finally discontinued iPod Shuffle. Nevertheless, as the Apple's smallest and cheapest iPod, the Shuffle is still an ideal MP3 player for working out. Luckily, you are able to get one from third-party retailers like Amazon or eBay.
Spotify perhaps is the best-known player in the music streaming space. With it, you can play millions of songs for free. Listen to the songs you love and enjoy music from all over the world. If you have subscribed to Spotify Premium, you can stream music from Spotify for ad-free and offline listening.
The songs that you streamed are encrypted and only Spotify app can unencrypt them. That's to say, unless the device has a Spotify app, you won't be able to sync songs from Spotify to a device. Unfortunately, iPod Shuffle cannot download and run the Spotify program. That's why many people can't play Spotify music on the iPod Shuffle successfully.
In fact, you can only sync local files, such as MP3 files you have bought and downloaded through iTunes, to the iPod Shuffle. And there's no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. It requires a USB sync from a PC or Mac running iTunes. Therefore, in order to sync Spotify music to iPod Shuffle, we should crack the encryption and encode the Spotify songs to the common audio format supported by iTunes.
Spotify Music Converter is one of the best Spotify Music Converter tools recommended for you. It can bypass the encryption thoroughly from Spotify songs, albums and playlists. Besides, Spotify Music Converter also has the ability of converting Spotify music to multiple formats like MP3 or AAC which are wildly supported by iPod Shuffle without quality loss.
