However, due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions, directly using its songs as ringtones can be challenging.

Don’t worry, though! There are a few creative workarounds to achieve this. Follow our guide to learn how to set Spotify songs as your ringtone on both Android and iPhone devices.

Download Spotify Songs as Local Files

While Spotify allows Premium users to download music for offline listening, these downloaded songs are encrypted and can’t be used directly as ringtones. To set a Spotify song as your ringtone, you’ll need to download it as a local file, such as an MP3. This creates a separate copy of the song on your device, giving you the freedom to transfer and use it for ringtones without any restrictions.

Pazu Spotify Converter is designed for both Spotify Free and Premium users to download all Spotify songs, playlists, albums, and podcasts for offline listening on Windows or Mac computers. It extracts Spotify music and converts it into high-quality formats, including MP3, M4A, AIFF, WAV, FLAC, and AAC. This tool saves Spotify tracks with lossless audio quality and preserves all ID3 tags. After downloading, you can transfer the songs to any compatible device for offline enjoyment and use them as ringtones on your phone.

Android makes it simple to set custom ringtones from music files stored on your device, as long as they are in MP3, M4A, or WAV formats. Here’s how to use the downloaded MP3 Spotify songs as ringtones:

1. Go to Settings on your Android phone.
2. Locate and tap on Sound (or Sounds & vibration depending on your device).
3. Select Ringtone (or Phone Ringtone) within the Sound settings.
4. Look for a similar option like “Choose Local Ringtone.”
5. Navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded Spotify song and choose it.

That’s it! Your selected Spotify song is now your new ringtone.

Make Spotify Songs Your Ringtong on iPhone

Since iOS 17, setting custom ringtones on iPhones has become more restrictive. Apple now requires ringtones to be under 30 seconds long and saved in the “.m4r” format. Even if you follow these guidelines, your iPhone might not automatically recognize the custom ringtone.

However, you can still use your own music as ringtones with GarageBand – a free app pre-installed on most iPhones:

1. Launch the GarageBand app on your iPhone.
2. Start a New Project: Swipe left to select “AUDIO RECORDER,” then tap the brick wall icon to create a new project.

3. Set Ringtone Time:
   • Select the plus icon at the top right.
   • A window will pop up with “8 bars” as the default recording time. Since iPhone ringtones are limited to 30 seconds, tap on “8 bars” and manually set it to “30.” Hit “Done” to confirm.

4. Add the Spotify Song:
   • Tap the Loop icon to browse your iPhone folders.
   • Choose the Files tab on the top and browse to find the downloaded Spotify MP3 file.
   • Hold and drag your downloaded Spotify song to the timeline.

5. Export as Ringtone:
   • Tap the downward arrow icon and choose “My Songs” to save the project.
   • Tap and hold the song, select “Share” > “Ringtone,” and rename it if desired. Select “Export” at the upper right corner to save your custom ringtone to your iPhone.

6. Set as Ringtone: Go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone and select your new custom ringtone.

Conclusion

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for turning your favorite Spotify songs into ringtones on both Android and iPhone. The first step is to download the Spotify music as an MP3 file using Pazu Spotify Converter. On Android, simply transfer the MP3 to your device and set it as your ringtone. For iOS 17, while the process is a bit more involved, you can still create a custom ringtone using the built-in GarageBand app.
