You can quickly mark a few Spotify playlists and make them available offline directly from your phone — your computer doesn’t need to be on because you download tracks directly from Spotify’s own server.
Connect to a Wi-Fi network to do this procedure when possible, rather than 3G, because Wi-Fi is probably a lot faster and, depending on your data plan, should cost less, too.

When you make a playlist on Spotify, its cover will be a collage made with the album covers of the first four songs in the list. When those first four songs change, the playlist cover changes.
There’s an option in your settings that allows you to turn syncing over 2.5G/3G networks on or off to avoid unnecessary data costs. On the iPhone, go to Settings and ensure the Sync over 2G/3G switch is in the Off position (it appears gray, not green, when it’s set to Off). On Android, go to More→Settings and make sure Sync over 3G is unchecked.
iPhone and Android devices are the most popular. For those of you using another device, the information in the following sections should still help you find your way, and you can also check the Spotify Mobile page for help.
Sync offline Spotify playlists by using the iPhone
To copy tracks on to your iPhone and listen to them later without a data connection, follow these steps:
Open Spotify on your mobile device.
Select Playlists at the bottom-left of the window to access a list of your playlists (if they don’t already appear), and then touch Edit at the top-right to enter Edit mode.
On the right side of each playlist while in Edit mode, you see the Sync symbol, represented by a down arrow. Any green sync symbol means the playlist has already been synced to your phone; if it’s gray, it isn’t available in Offline mode.
But it is quite annoying that the desktop version doesn't work anymore.Does someone knows what is going on or how to help to solve this issue?Kind regards. Additionally, the app on my smartphone (iphone) still works fine though. I constantely get the message 'can't play the current song'. After skipping +5 songs in the playlist, from time to time just one song plays and after that the same thing continues, ' can't play the current song'.I've tried several things to solve the problem; restarting Spotify; turning off and on my wifi connection on my laptop; rebooting my wifi rooter; reinstalling Spotify, but non of those things helped to solve the problem. This morning I updated Spotify on my Mac laptop (OS X 10.9.5) to the lastest version (0.9.14.13.gba5645ad), but after that Spotify doesn't play any songs anymore; not from my own playlists nor from Spotify's own playlists. Spotify mac os update.
Mark any playlists you want to make available offline by tapping their gray symbols.
Any playlists you tap turn green.
When you finish selecting playlists, touch Done.
The syncing process begins, as long as you’re online and connected to Wi-Fi (if you’ve turned syncing over 2.5G/3G off in your settings).
You can also sync playlists while you’re actually in one. On the iPhone, swipe your finger across the silver Available Offline switch at the top-right of the screen to turn Offline mode on (or off). When on, the switch is green and says Yes. When off, it’s gray and says No.

FAQ
What is a Pet Playlist?
An algorithmically created playlist based on your listening habits and your pet’s attributes, so it’s music you both can enjoy.
Does it work?
While music for pets isn’t an exact science, we initially consulted with musicologist David Teie, a cellist with America’s National Symphony Orchestra, who pioneered species-specific music and composed two albums of Music for Cats. David advised on the general likes/dislikes of each animal – for example, dogs don’t respond well to music in the lower register as it’s often viewed as a threat. The rest of the process was mostly inspired by our own furry, fuzzy and scaly friends. For a more scientific playlist, please check out Mellow Meowsic, which Teie curated exclusively for Spotify. By the way, we only use the information you provide us for the purpose of creating your Pet Playlist. The information is not stored and is not used for any other purpose.
