Spotify Premium tier gives you access to every music content without advertising interruption. No matter which device -- desktop, mobile, or smartwatch -- Spotify Premium allows you to skip tracks, download offline, get better audio quality, travel abroad without limitation, and a lot. To enjoy all these privileges, a regular fee is of course needed -- $10.99/month for an individual, $16.99/month for family (6 accounts), and more.

Though the paid subscription on Spotify is affordable for most music aficionados, there're still various reasons you would like to cancel Premium. Here this article, we will cover how to cancel Spotify Premium account, what will happen after unsubscribing, and how to keep Spotify downloads playable after not being a member.

What Will Happen After Canceling Spotify Premium?

After canceling Premium, your Spotify will not directly turn to a Free account -- it will stay until the next billing date. After that, the original info can be still used to log in, but your playlist will contain ads.

This change will strongly affect the user experience when you're traveling to a remote area, or taking a plane. Thus, if you are keen to play Spotify offline content without Premium, the next solution you can never miss.
