Spotify wants you to listen to as much music as possible during the dog days of summer. That’s why the music subscription service announced Super Summer of Music.

If you pay $10 before June 15, you will get three months of Spotify Premium. Premium brings several differences over the free version of Spotify, such as increased sound quality, the ability to save songs for offline listening, and no ads.

This promotion adds yet another note to the interesting last couple of weeks the company has had. In positive news, Spotify recently reached the 10 million paid subscriber mark, and while there are 40 million active users of the service, the company would like to have most of them as paid subscribers. In addition, Spotify made it easier to save your music for offline listening.

Unfortunately, a Spotify user’s account was compromised, leading Spotify to alert its users to change their passwords. In addition, the company issued an updated version of the Spotify app for Android, with no such update issued for iOS and Windows Phone.

How to download music from Spotify for offline listening
How to download music and podcasts from Spotify: The downloads folder.

If you're a Spotify Premium user paying that premium Spotify fee, chances are you've taken at least some time curating playlists, liking songs, and using the platform's easy-to-use (and recently revamped) user interface to discover new and old music.

But sometimes all that music or your favorite podcasts aren't available if you find yourself without an internet connection to stream them from — like on a long plane ride or weekend camping trip in the sticks. That's where Spotify's offline listening feature comes in handy, allowing you to download playlists, albums, and podcasts through its desktop and mobile apps so you can still rock out while you're off the grid.

How to switch from Spotify to Apple Music
Spotify and Apple Music transfer on a smartphone.

Spotify is the world's most popular music streaming service for a reason. It has a massive catalog of music and podcasts, is full of cool music discovery and sharing features, and is really easy to use.
However, with its recent price increase and the fact that it still hasn't joined most of its peers in offering a hi-res audio quality option, you may be considering jumping ship for its closest competitor, Apple Music, which counts lossless hi-res tracks, mind-bending spatial audio, Dolby Atmos Music tracks, and a catalog that rivals Spotify's among the many attractive reasons to switch.

But there's one problem: you’ve spent a lot of time creating playlists and marking songs and albums as your favorites in Spotify. Is it worth the switch? Will all that hard work be lost in translation?
