Spotify is one of the best music listening services out there with awesome functionality and a clean user interface. Not only you get access to millions of songs but the seamlessness between all Spotify apps is pretty refreshing and intuitive. Though most stream music from Spotify, you can download the music you like and all your playlists for offline listening. This is particularly useful if you have an unreliable internet connection or when you are traveling.
When you chose to download Spotify music, it stores the downloaded songs or music locally in your hard drive. Let me show where Spotify stores the downloaded music and songs. Once you know the location, you can either back up the files or change the download location to somewhere convenient.
The above action will take you to the Settings page. If you are using Windows 10, simply copy and paste the below path to go to the Spotify offline storage folder. Only Spotify can decrypt them.

There's no need to make three different layouts. Completely agree with you on this. I noticed yesterday after my update came through, and has been bugging me ever since. I add a lot of local files to Spotify that are free downloads online for mixtapes and other free songs that the artists release.
I loved that I could still edit all the info to the way I like, but now I simply can't do that anymore. I would understand if it were a new feature that they were working on coming up with, but this feature has been around ever since I got Spotify back around a year ago and probably a lot longer before that.
I hoenstly don't see why they thought getting rid of this option was a good idea, but hope it comes back soon. I recently decided to ditch my iPod and iTunes, and simply use Spotify for everything, including making certain stuff available offline, and using my phone as my mp3 player. After making my iTunes folder viewable in Spotify I have a lot of stuff that just isn't on Spotify for whatever reason , I didn't realise how inflexible the 'local files' viewer would be.
My own albums are sorted perfectly in my iTunes folder, but Spotify has decided it knows better, and it's all a bit chaotic. It's renaming files and unsorting track orders for albums that aren't even available on Spotify. Spotify used to be so streamlined and concise, but with every 'new version' it gets clunkier and more bloated, and basic things become impossible. It was a feature I used all the time.
