If you pay the premium subscription fee, you can also listen to music offline. The only problem is that you can’t transfer them anywhere or play them with other music players other than Spotify because the music files you downloaded with Spotify are DRM(Digital Rights Management) protected.

• When you are at work, make sure to go into the Spotify app settings under 'playback' and turn 'offline mode' to on so that it won't be connected to the Internet to use your mobile data. What might have happened, is that you are trying to download over 1,000 songs and they didn't finish downloading.
• I can download small play lists but they are deleted (little available offline green arrow turns grey) as soon as Spotify is closed and reopened. I am going abroad next week so really need to be able to download music as I will not have access to data for 11 days.

Downloading songs for offline use is only possible if you have a Spotify Premium subscription. You also need to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to download your Spotify music—you can't download songs over cellular data. If you download music on a 6th device, downloads are automatically removed from the device that hasn't been used in the longest amount of time. Your account needs to go online at least once every 30 days. Solution 1: Download Spotify Music to iPod Touch via Spotify Client If you have Premium and have the 5th generation iPod touch or later, you can download your favorite songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts from Spotify, so you can listen to them on iPod touch without an internet connection.

Spotify officially released its Apple Watch app on Nov 13, 2018. With this new app, users can enjoy an improved experience with better control and the ability to seamlessly connect to your speakers or devices.

Spotify’s first Apple Watch version includes the ability to access and control your favorite Spotify music and podcasts from wrist, and control how music is played to compatible Spotify Connect devices. But one important feature is missing: you can't store Spotify music locally on your wrist for offline listening.

The lack of offline playback may disappoint you. It means you still can't go for a run with just Bluetooth headphones and leave iPhone at home. Spotify is promising that offline playback support is coming in the future, however, it's not achieved. Unfortunately, it's a similar story for Apple Watch LTE owners with a data contract who were hoping to stream Spotify music directly from their wrist for listening on a pair of connected Bluetooth headphones. Currently the ability to do this doesn't exist in the Spotify app and there's a good chance it never will, since Apple's API for watchOS 5 doesn't permit third-party apps to use direct cellular or Wi-Fi streaming.
