Part 3: Convert Spotify Audiobooks to Local MP3 Files

As we are aware, purchasing an audiobook on Spotify is not tied to any Spotify Premium plans. These one-time purchases are separate from any subscriptions you may have, meaning you need to buy the title to listen to it. You can only download a handful of audiobooks without buying them from the Free Audiobooks section. Most importantly, the downloaded Spotify audiobooks are in encrypted formats, which hinders you from freely sharing them with friends, using them with other programs, or transferring them to other devices.

However, TuneCable Spotify Music Downloader is here to help. With its assistance, you can now download Spotify free or paid audiobooks to a local PC in unprotected MP3 formats. This converter removes the restraints from Spotify audiobooks, allowing you to keep the audiobooks forever. And you can move the converted Spotify audiobooks to any device without limitation.
