SamualSS Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It's exciting to listen to Spotify music when you have spare time. Now I use the AudFree Spotify Downloader for Windows to keep the songs on my phone. Moreover, I transfer them to other MP3 players because I convert the format. I love to play the songs on the player.
