ViWizard Spotify Music Converter

Music streaming services are always eager to let you know how big their libraries are. We’re talking about hundreds of millions of tracks here, but in all honesty, who keeps track of these things? Given how fickle streaming deals are, it’s not uncommon for entire albums to disappear overnight in some regions due to licensing problems.

Spotify is certainly among the more popular music streaming services out there, yet as convenient as it may be, it’s never a bad idea to download your favorite tunes locally. ViWizard Spotify Music Converter will help you do just that: individual songs, playlists, or albums, the tool will download them all for you so that you can jam to your tunes in peace.

If you’re somewhat familiar with Spotify downloaders, then acclimating to this one shouldn’t be much of a problem. The interface design simplifies working with the program altogether, as downloading your tunes takes no more than a few clicks.

Note that Spotify is required to be installed on your computer for the software to function. I’m not certain as to why that is, as dragging content from the web player works just as well, provided the Spotify app is running in the background of course.

There’s also the matter of converting your audio. The tool does this automatically, and you can change your conversion preferences in the Settings: modify the downloaded format, sample and bit rate, and so on.

The dependence on the Spotify app can make the program a bit unresponsive. Even though the software automatically launches Spotify, its interface would freeze sporadically and display a “Loading...” message.

Closing the program from the Task Manager, then rebooting it solved the problem, but even so, this issue made the app feel less than reliable at times. If you close the Spotify app while the converter is running, you'll have to end its process via Task Manager, then execute it again.

Viwizard Spotify Music Converter is a piece of software that can be difficult to recommend, mostly due to its reliance on the Spotify app. It’s not a bummer that you need the official app installed, but that it is seemingly a cause for the program’s sporadic unresponsiveness.
