Latest Sidify Spotify Music Converter Review & Best Alternative

Part 1. Overview of Sidify Music Converter for Spotify

Sidify Spotify Music Converter is a popular tool for recording Spotify tracks in MP3, WAV, AAC, and other plain formats among premium users. It supports both Windows and Mac users with up to 48 languages, covering a wide range of Spotify users worldwide. If you want to play Spotify on your MP3 player or burn CDs from Spotify, it can help you remove the DRM protection of Spotify music and allow you to play music on devices without Spotify for personal use.

Now, let's explore the key features, pricing plan, and more about Sidify Spotify Music Converter.

Key Features of Sidify Spotify Music Converter

The key features are summarized from its own introduction and personal experience during my testing on Mac and Windows systems, including its core conversion function, the quality and output format, and other related functions.

Notice: The Sidify Spotify Music Converter review below is based on the free trial of Sidify Spotify Music Converter on 3.4 version of Windows and 3.3.3 version of Mac.

Download Spotify Songs/Podcasts/Audiobooks at 10X Speed in Batch

True Experience: Spotify Audiobook is limited to download.

When I use the Spotify Premium account on Windows 10 and MacOS 14 to download Spotify audiobooks to MP3, it shows "This content is not available" too. But it works well on converting songs and podcasts. So I guess the Sidify's Spotify Audiobooks download function is limited in the conditions below:

• You have played 15 hours of audiobooks this month with Spotify Individual Premium plan or the Audiobooks Access plan.
• You join the Spotify Student Premium plan.
• You are not the plan manager in the Spotify Duo Premium plan.
• You are not the plan manager in the Spotify Family plan.
• You don't buy the Spotify audiobook.

True Experience: Sidify supports fast and batch conversion.

Just as Sidify introduces, its Spotify Music Converter supports a 1-10X faster speed. I get a track in 1-minute length taking about 10-12 seconds on the Windows 10 App Convert Mode, while on MacOS 14, it takes about 1 minute to convert on App Convert Mode.

For its batch conversion function, it also works well. I test to import a playlist including 260+ songs and it operates in 3 seconds, which is really fast.

Besides, I test to import artists, albums, playlists, and playlist folder, and find that the playlist folder is unable to be verified; you need to import playlists in the folders individually,

Various Customized Settings

Sidify Spotify Music Converter supports Convert Settings, Tools Settings, General settings, and Advanced settings on the app. You can customize the output format, quality, and folder with the Convert Settings and Tools Settings. In General Settings, you can choose the appearances, languages, notifications, and other settings. The Advanced setting allows you to turn on or off the One-click to add from the Spotify desktop function.

On Windows 10, Sidify displays the Convert Settings in its Music section; you can set the conversion mode, output format, bit rate, sample rate, and what to do after converting. Click the More Settings button next to Convert Setting; you can define the Output Settings to select the local output folder, customize the file name, and choose the way to sort files. On the left sidebar, Sidify displays a Settings button; you can customize tools/general/advanced settings here.

On MacOS 14, Sidify organizes all the settings in its Settings section, which is easy to find.

Overall, Sidify provides many settings that you can define in several places on its app.

Up to 320kbps Audio Quality of Recording Tracks

If you set the output format as MP3, AAC, and OGG format, you can choose the Quality from 128 kbps to 320 kbps, while the FLAC, WAV, and AIFF formats are fixed at 320 kbps.

Keep the Main Original ID3 Tags and Spotify Lyrics

Sidify can keep the Cover, Title, Artist, Album, Year, Track Num, and Genre of the tracks, covering the essential meta information. It provides the Save Lyrics function on the Convert Settings section and will download the Spotify lyrics in txt or LRC format if the tracks provide them.

Built-in Music Tools

Aside from its core function of converting Spotify tracks into MP3 and other plain formats, Sidify supports some built-in tools to enhance the user experience. You can export Spotify playlists to Apple Music/iTunes, edit the ID3 tags, and convert local tracks into other formats on both Windows 10 and MacOS 14. Besides, it allows you to burn Spotify tracks to CDs on the Windows 10 app, which is very convenient for users who want to store and play their Spotify songs on CDs.
