Review: AudFree Spotify Music Converter – Convert Spotify to MP3

Spotify is now one of the largest music streaming services in the world. Besides music, Spotify is also a great platform that provides podcasts. Users can find the right music or podcast easily on the phone, computer, tablet, and more.

Although Spotify has made it possible for us to enjoy music on different occasions such as driving, jogging, partying, or relaxing, it has some limitations too. For example, it is not yet possible to play Spotify on an old generation of iPod, or portable MP3 players directly, if you want to stay away from the Internet and have a walk in the woods. That’s when we need a Spotify to MP3 Converter.

There are plenty of Spotify music converters on the market if you google it. Today, we pick AudFree Spotify Music Converter and give you a thorough and comprehensive review of it from various aspects. Keep on reading to find out whether it is the best choice for you.
