The premise is that you'll need to download Spotify content offline in advance. If you have subscribed to Spotify Individual Premium, please follow the steps below to play Spotify on more than one device.

Step 1. Open the Spotify app on your devices, like computers, mobile phones, iPads, etc. Then log in to your Spotify Premium account.

Part 3. How to Listen to Different Spotify Songs on Multiple Devices Simultaneously

If you want to play different songs on different devices at the same time, here are the solutions.

1. Via Spotify Duo or Family Plan

It is recognized that Spotify Family Premium is designed for up to 6 Spotify users who live together to use their Spotify accounts on different devices within the same subscription. Each member can have their own Spotify account and listen to music independently.

You can upgrade to the Family Plan at $19.99 per month directly. Then you can get ad-free streaming, download songs for offline listening, and much more. It is much cheaper than subscribing to six Premium accounts individually.

Step 1. On a browser, navigate to spotify.com/family and log in to your Spotify account.

Step 2. Click on "Get Started" and enter your payment information.

Step 3. Finally, click on "Start my Spotify Premium".

Step 4. Once done, tap on your Profile on Spotify, pick "Account", and then select "Premium for Family". There, you can invite your family member to your plan to play on various devices at once.

Step 5. You can add up to five family members, all of whom can have Spotify Premium on multiple devices.

Besides Spotify Family plan, you can also subscribe to the Spotify Duo plan with your family member or roommate to listen to Spotify on two devices at the same time. At just $16.99 per month, it is a better deal than the individual plan.

2. Via SoundHound

SoundHound has been introduced as another trick for Spotify Premium users to listen to Spotify on two devices. It works to access your Spotify account and play Spotify playlists on one device without pausing Spotify on the other.

However, this tool is available only on Android and iOS devices. Plus, you can't play individual Spotify songs on SoundHound but have to add a single song to the playlist that plays on SoundHound. By the way, there is no permission for you to search for Spotify songs on SoundHound. Therefore, you'd better add all the songs you hope to stream to a new playlist in advance.

Step 1. Download and install SoundHound on your mobile phone.

Step 2. After opening it, hit on the "Play" icon at the lower-right corner followed by "Connect with Spotify".

Step 3. Connect SoundHound to a Spotify Premium account once you create a SoundHound account.

Step 4. When SoundHound gets into a Spotify account, choose any Spotify playlist to start playing.

Step 5. The playlist playing on SoundHound doesn't affect Spotify on your other devices. In this way, you can listen to Spotify music on 2 mobile devices simultaneously without difficulty.

Part 7. How to Fix Spotify on Multiple Devices Common Issues

When using Spotify across multiple devices, you may encounter issues such as playback interruptions, devices failing to appear in the Spotify device list, or Spotify Connect failing to connect. Here you can check out the solutions to fix the issues.

Problem 1: Spotify Offline Mode Isn't Working on Another Device

Fix: Make sure the Spotify music was downloaded to that device before going offline as Spotify downloads are stored locally on the device where they were downloaded. Also, make sure that your Spotify Premium account remains eligible for offline listening.

Problem 2: Spotify Playback Keeps Disconnecting

Fix: Try to move your device closer to the router, restart the router or switch to a strong network.

Problem 3: Spotify Stops Playing When I Use Another Device

Fix: To use Spotify on another device at the same time, you need to use a different account. Or, you should subscribe to Spotify Duo or Spotify Family plan for independent playback separately.

Problem 4: Playback History and Playlist Conflicts When Reconnecting Network After Using Spotify on Multiple Devices Offline

Fix: Before reconnecting an offline device to WiFi, manually stop playback and completely close the Spotify background process on that device. After reconnecting, wait 10 to 15 seconds to allow background data to synchronize silently with the server before relaunching the application; this effectively prevents state conflicts between devices.
