Part 1. Can You Make a Spotify Song Your Ringtone?

We’ve been there: hearing an amazing song on Spotify and instantly want to set it as the perfect ringtone. The excitement quickly turns to frustration when we realize there's no direct "set as ringtone" option. Due to copyright restrictions and the way Spotify handles its music library, you cannot directly set Spotify as your ringtone. However, don't despair! While a direct method is absent, there are workarounds that allow you to achieve your goal.

Method 1. Try third-party ringtone software

Your first option is to utilize some third-party ringtone apps, like iRingtone for Spotify. This specialized tool provides a large selection of Spotify songs and allows you to set any song you like as your ringtone. Before using it, you need to notice that this app now is only available on iOS devices. Also, it requires you to have a Spotify Premium subscription to use it. If you only have a Free account or want more flexibility with your Spotify songs, the second method is better for you.

Method 2. Download Spotify songs as local music files

The culprit that prevents you from setting Spotify songs as your ringtone is the DRM protection. Spotify applies it to all songs in its music library so that you are not able to play or transfer Spotify songs on other platforms, even if you have downloaded them. Therefore, if you can remove Spotify DRM protection and download a Spotify song in an audio format that can be set as a ringtone, you can easily reach your goal.

To do this, you will need the help of a professional music downloader and converter. Why don’t you try the secure and reliable TunesMake Spotify Music Converter?TunesMake Spotify Music Converter can completely download and convert any Spotify songs, albums, playlists, and even audiobooks to common formats like MP3, M4A, M4B, WAV, FLAC, and AIFF.
