This article is being continuously updated. New updates are being added at the bottom….
Download the latest version of iTunes directly from Apple (not the Microsoft Store). Download the latest version of iCloud directly from Apple (not the Microsoft Store). Installing: Download AltServer for Windows. Extract the downloaded “AltInstaller.zip” file. Double-click “setup.exe”, then follow the installation instructions. After a nightmare on spotify trying to disconnect from facebook where i set it up (impossible it seems), i'm now trying to set up my new sonos to listen to spotify and it simply says unable to add spotify account.
Popular third party app installer and iOS jailbreak alternative TweakBox is currently seeming to be acting glitchy. Users are taking to social media platforms like Twitter to complain problems like apps (such as Spotify++) not installing and revoked access.
Here are some reports:

@TweakBoxApp are the apps still good? I think they may have just been revoked or possibly i’m just having trouble re-downloading them
— MontyP84 (@P84Monty) February 9, 2019
@TweakBoxApp you’re apps aren’t working again, it says they need to be verified but nothing happens when you verify them.

FWIW, this is what Tweakbox had said earlier this week:
Apps have just been revoked, fixing them already, once they stop working for you: Delete them, reinstall them, and trust them again in settings ❤️
— TweakBox (@TweakBoxApp) February 5, 2019

Should be fixed now, give it a try
— TweakBox (@TweakBoxApp) February 5, 2019
Moving on, even the Tutu app installer is broken. Take a look at some reports:
Doesn’t work either
— Carlos Casas (@CCasasMXD) February 9, 2019
The App again crashed

@TutuApp_vip

Plz the App crashed again !!!
— Incredible (@X1lxx) February 9, 2019
For its part, teams behind both Tutu and TweakBox haven’t said anything on the matter yet. But we’re keeping an active tab, so if you are affected, keep checking back for latest updates. Hacked spotify apk for android.
Update 1
Team Tutu app has now said this:
Revoked again?
We are working on it.
Please be patient.?
Sorry for the inconvenience. pic.twitter.com/QeT6ERWTWl

Update 2
Apple released the much awaited iOS 12.1.4 yesterday. It might be possible the new OS broke these third party app installers.
@TweakBoxApp Hi no idea whats the issue, but I am now no longer able to install apps. in the homescreen it shows an empty grey icon logo and say unable to install or something. This happened since the new iOS update yesterday, no idea if that affects anything.
— Zhen Kit (@zhenkit) February 9, 2019
I haven’t updated my phone since last summer but I had to get a new phone because apple broke it during a battery replacement. With the newest IOS update, is that preventing my from getting apps off tweak box ?
— Isaiah Montalvo (@omgitszay_) February 9, 2019
Update 3
As an alternative, we’d suggest trying AppValley (@appvalley_vip on Twitter). They have many of the apps that are popular on TweakBox. Do let us know your experience in case you give App Valley a try.
Hey guys use appvalley if you want Spotify +++. I’m not sure how long tweak box will have this glitch but until then app valley will be used.
— TS7 is coming (@thegayswiftie) February 9, 2019
Meanwhile, here’s another user-suggested alternative:
If it’s still revoked install @iPABoxApp !!! I hope I save a life ? same tweaks and everything
— ً (@sicckorose) February 9, 2019
Update 4
Contrary to what we thought earlier, looks like this TweakBox app revoked issue has nothing to do with the latest iOS 12.1.4 update.
Must be the app then, my friend has the same issue and she hasn't updated yet also.
— Zhen Kit (@zhenkit) February 9, 2019
Update 5
Looks like the issues have been fixed by the team.
Apps foxed, sorry for the delay ?
— TweakBox (@TweakBoxApp) February 9, 2019

The team also suggested one affected to user to use VPN.
Puedes probar usando un VPN?
— TweakBox (@TweakBoxApp) February 9, 2019
And the workaround seems to be working for some.
Using a vpn to me it works!@TweakBoxApp
— Relixo (@RelixoHabbo) February 9, 2019
Update 9
TweakBox has now confirmed the problem is at their end, specifically with their CDN company.
Turns out the issue is again the CDN company. This the second time already. If you can, please use a VPN as that will fix it.
— TweakBox (@TweakBoxApp) February 9, 2019

Seems like those who have issues installing apps are:

Update 14 (July 16)
Well, a couple of hours ago, Tweakbox fixed the issue and said apps can be downloaded again, but we are again seeing user reports that say apps have been revoked again.

— Svilen Dzhonev (@zziggyyy) July 16, 2019
Update 15 (July 18)
Aaaand the problem continues. Tweakbox apps have been revoked again on iOS, and the developer is suggesting users to wait for sometime. Meanwhile, as a workaround, here’s what Tweakbox has shared:
When apps are down you can use (link: http://sideload.tweakboxapp.com) sideload.tweakboxapp.com and install apps using your PC/Mac, there is a tutorial on the site. + A nice update is coming to it
Competitors meanwhile are making the most out of this situation:
Update 15 (July 19)
A Tweakbox tweet from a few hours ago suggested users have to wait for some more time before apps are back, but the latest tweet – although cryptic in nature – indicates the issue is almost about to get over.
Update 16 (July 19)
The issue is finally fixed. Here is what Tweakbox said a few hours ago:
It’s fixed.

Settings ➜ General ➜ Profiles & Device Management ➜ Enterprise App ➜ Trust

Update 27 (August 26)
More bad news, apps have been revoked again.

7 Free Ways to Download Spotify to MP3 in 2020
With more than 40 million songs, Spotify offers a massive music library that you can listen to online without taking your storage space. 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. In this article, I will show you 7 ways to download songs from Spotify as MP3 without recording even if you don’t have Spotify Premium. No matter what devices you use, you can find at least 2 methods that work for you.
Disclaimer
All these methods are for personal or educational use only.
You should not use any of these tools to pirate or distribute music.
Some of the methods may be illegal to use this in your country, so be informed.
Method 1: Download Spotify song or playlist with Siri Shortcuts
If you are using an iOS device, you probably have heard of the automation application Shortcuts, which is the updated version of Workflow. I have three shortcuts to help you download music from Spotify.
If you are not familiar with Shortcuts, you can free download it from AppStore and get a few pre-made shortcuts in the Shortcuts Gallery to see how it work. To get the shortcuts that I am about to show you, you just open the link in Safari to download it.
This Spotify playlist downloader can only download an entire Spotify playlist. You will have an option to select some of the tracks in the playlist to download if you don’t want to download them all.
Note: This only works for playlist. It won’t work if you input a Spotify track link. It is recommended to run it from Spotify share sheet.
You can simply copy the Spotify playlist link from Spotify app and run this shortcut. You can also tap the Share button to run this shortcut from the share sheet. Besides the playlist link, you can also input playlist ID Or playlist URI to download Spotify playlist to MP3.
When downloaded, you can open the Files app, and then select iCloud > Shortcuts > Music to check the downloaded MP3 file. If you are not familiar with iOS Shortcuts, be sure to watch this video below to see how it works.
For advanced users, you can also use Shortcuts to Move Spotify Playlist to Apple Music and vise versa. Though the authentication process is a little complicated when you want to transfer playlists to Spotify by using Spotify API.
Method 2: Download Spotify to MP3 Using Telegram Bot
If you use Telegram, you can simply use a Telegram bot to download free music whether you are on Android or iOS. It does not require any setup or your Spotify account login info. All you need is this @SpotifyMusicDownloaderBot. After you get this bot, type “/start” (without quotes) and then you can paste any Spotify track link to start downloading music for free. If you are using iOS, you may want to tap the Share button and save to Files after the music is downloaded.
If you do like using Telegram bots to download music, you probably also want to check this post to get more Telegram Bots for music.
Method 3: Download Spotify Playlist to FLAC or MP3
There is another open-source software called Deezloader, which is developed to download music from Deezer, can also be used to download a playlist from Spotify. The software actually converts the Spotify playlist to Deezer playlist and then download music from Deezer. You can set it to download Spotify Playlist as MP3 or FLAC. The lastest version Deezloader Remix 4.2.2 also allows you to download any single Spotify track and it much easier to set up.
Step 1. Download and install Deezer Remix. Log in with your Deezer account (free account also works).
Step 2. Go to this link: https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications and log in with your Spotify account (free account works).
Step 3. Click on Create a Client ID and then compile the form as you like.
Step 4. Save the settings and then you will see the Client ID and Client Secret. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to Deezloader Remix.
If you are using an older version of Deezloader Remix, the setup is a little bit complicated than this. You can refer to this video to see the configure process.
As you know, not all tracks on Spotify are also available on Deezer, so you will see some tracks are failed to download because Deezloader cannot find the matched songs. If you want a tool to download all tracks from Spotify playlist, keep reading to see the next tool.
Update: Since Deezloader is discontinued, you can only use this method to download 128kbps MP3. If you prefer high quality, jump to Method 5.
Method 4: Download Spotify to MP3 with AllToMP3
AllToMP3 is free open source software that allows you to download music from Spotify, YouTube, SoundCloud, and Deezer. It is available in Windows, macOS, and Linux. If you check the source code, it is easy to find out that it actually matches the Spotify music track with YouTube video and convert YouTube video to MP3, so the music quality is not as good the other methods. You can free download from its website or Github.
After installation, you can paste the Spotify song link or playlist link and press Enter to start downloading. The music, by default, will be saved in the Music folder. The downloaded music files include all the tags and cover art, but the quality is nowhere close to the next free tool.
Method 5: Download Spotify Music Using Allavsoft
Allavsoft is your ultimate media downloader software for Windows and Mac. It allows you to directly download Spotify playlist, album music to MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, WMA, etc with ID3 tags.
The latest version allows you to download Spotify music as FLAC (1441 kbps). Unlike Deezloader, you download all the songs that Deezloader cannot download, literally, unmatched songs with Allavsoft. For me, Allavsoft is the best Spotify Music Downloader.
Once you get it installed, you can copy the Spotify music link whether it is a song, album, or playlist and then launch Allavsoft. The program will automatically paste the URL and you just need to click Download to start downloading.
By default, it saves Spotify music to MP3 as 320 kbps with artwork and other metadata, so you don’t need to check the option “Automatically Convert to”. If you choose the Best Available quality, you may find some songs are downloaded as FLAC 1411 kbps, which is really cool. If you want to convert Spotify Music to FLAC, WAV, AIFF, AAC, WMA, DTS, etc, you can click the “Automatically Convert to” button to select the specific format from the drop-down menu.
Besides Spotify, Allavsoft allows you to download music from Deezer, SoundCloud, MixCloud, and download videos from Udemy, Lyda, YouTube, Facebook, etc. That is to say, Allavsoft is the only downloader software that you ever need.
Method 6: Convert Spotify music to MP3 with TuneMobie
There are many programs that claim to be able to convert Spotify, but deep down they are recording the audio, TuneMobie is one of them. I tried both free and paid versions. Let me tell you how it really works.
When you open this program TuneMobie, it asks you to launch the Spotify app or download it if you haven’t. Then you can see in the preference where you can select to save as mp3, m4a, WAV, and FLAC. These are all the supported audio formats and other settings that you customize.
When you try to convert a song, the Spotify app actually plays the song, but you hear no sound. Compared to other audio-recording kinds of competitors, Tunemobie Spotify Converter is 5 times faster. Usually, it takes less than 1 minute to convert a song.
You can also copy a playlist link to download Spotify playlist as MP3 or other formats. The trial version allows you to download (record) unlimited tracks for the first 3 munites in 30 days, which is much better than its competitors.
Method 7: Download Spotify with a Chrome extension
If you use Chrome web browser, you can install this free extension and then you can see a download button appears when you go to Spotify web player. You now can click on the download button to download almost all the songs from Spotify web player.
Why do I say almost? Because this extension certainly is not downloading music from Spotify directly. You just download music from its own server, so you will see some Spotify tracks are not available in their server for downloading. Some tracks downloaded using this extension may not be the same version as the Spotify version.

Download Spotify++ Apk
Bonus: Chimera — Multiple Source Music Downloader for Advanced Users Only
Chimera is a command-line based multiple source music downloader that allows you to download music from Spotify, Deezer, Tidal, Soundcloud, Napster, Qobuz, Google Play Music, etc.
It is open-source and completely free to use for educational and private use only. It is very powerful, but the setup process is more complicated than the other methods. You can choose Spotify source from Deezer, Tidal, or Qobuz.
Unable To Download Spotify On Ps4
As you know, Tidal and Qobuz provide Hi-res quality music. If you have paid subscription, you can use this tool to download Spotify music in very high quality in FLAC format.
You will need to grant your Spotify account through Spotify client ID and client secret. Based on your choice, you need to also set up Deezer, Tidal, or Qobuz account. For detailed steps, check this guide to see how to set it up.
Conclusion
That’s all the seven different methods for downloading Spotify music to MP3. If you care about music quality, then Allavsoft is the best choice. Personally, I like the Allavsoft method the most because it is convenient, high quality, and with cover art. More importantly, you don’t need any other video/music downloader software anymore once you have Allavsoft installed since it supports more than 1000 websites.
If you really love the iOS environment, then Shortcuts is a great way to download music on iPhone. Now, it is your turn. Which method are you going to try first? If you have other better method to download music from Spotify, please share it in the comments.
