"I want to know if there is any way to make a backup of the Spotify playlists. I am thinking of a simple playlist file that can be exported to my computer as backup."

For various reasons, we may need to export or backup Spotify playlists to our local computer - Some people prefer listening to Spotify songs offline or transferring Spotify playlists to other devices for enjoying while others would like to copy and backup Spotify playlists in case of accidentally deleting.

In this article, we are going to adopt the most popular Spotify music converter under the well-known brand – NoteBurner as the tool and guide you to export and backup Spotify playlists step by step.
