Spotify will not allow me to move my offline files to an SD card on my Moto G (5GB internal storage, 30GB SD card almost empty). I first tried deleting the cache and then setting the download quality to excellent before downloading my files, this didn't work so I tried it again. On Android, you can set the Download Location: if you have external storage options like an SD card, tell Netflix to send downloads there. Playback is limited to the device that downloaded it; the. Same Spotify as Tidal let you choose the storage slot of the downloads, the most logical thing is that you choose the external micro-sd card. The FLAC, MP4, MP3, and other audio files that you record on your micro-sd card are recognized and played by the FiiO Music program. Insert the SD card into your computer's card reader, and locate the folder your stored your converted Spotify playlists, then copy them to your SD card. If your computer does not have an SD card adapter slot, you can use the external SD card adapter to connect via USB or insert your micro SD card into your phone's SD card slot and hook up the phone to your computer via a USB cable.
This guide will show you how to change the location where Spotify stores any files that you flag to download in order to be able to play them when you’re offline. This can be particularly helpful if you have a large library and want to store it on an external drive.
ps. If you’re an Android user, you may want to check out this guide for instructions on how save Spotify files on an SD card instead of the internal storage.

Download Spotify For Offline Sd Card Reader
- Open the Spotify Preferences by selecting Spotify from your Menu Bar, and then Preferences from the pull-down list. Windows users: select Edit and then Preferences…
- Scroll to the bottom of the Spotify Preferences and click the SHOW ADVANCED SETTINGS
button. - Scroll down until you find the section titled Offline Songs Storage. Click the CHANGE LOCATION button.
- Now select the folder where you want Spotify to save files for offline listening etc. It’s worth mentioning that Spotify creates a bit of a ‘mess’ when it stores files – it utilizes a lot of coded folder and file names. You will almost certainly want to create a specific folder to store all of the other folders that Spotify will create.When you’ve selected the new location, restart Spotify.
- When you re-start Spotify it’ll move all of the files to the new location. As illustrated in the screenshot below, it does create a rather confusing series of folders with just as “strangely” named files inside them. It’s OK – you’re not meant to really be sorting through them, it’s just the way Spotify stores things.
