[HOWTO]Make Spotify cache offline playlists to SD card

Found this info on the Spotify forums and thought I'd share it with you guys. It enables Spotify to save your downloaded/offline playlists to your external SD card without using any other apps such as DirectoryBind and Apps2SD and whatever.

Basically you install a previous version of Spotify which supported selecting SD storage (no idea why this feature was removed!) and then upgrading to the latest version while keeping that feature intact.
  • 1. Uninstall Spotify and check that the Spotify folder in sdcard/Android/data has been removed.
  • 2. Install the old version of Spotify from here
  • 3. Start the app and don't log in (if you are logged in auto, log out) and press the menu button and select the SD storage option.
  • 4. Change the standard location to /mnt/extSdCard and then log in (if it bugs when you log in, just exit the app and try again)
  • 5. Select a single playlist to download/offline play and let it finish downloading before you go to the next step.
  • 6. Go to the Play Store and update the Spotify app to the newest version. It will save all cached music to the external SD card now until you uninstall the app provided you did everything correctly.
Check that it is indeed saving to the external SD before downloading your entire collection :p
