In today's self-media-friendly era, you can easily film a video of your daily routine, sharing the process of making low-fat healthy food, doing exercise, or anything in your life. While making hot content, content creators may need some video editors for better effects. When it comes to video editors, CapCut may come to video makers' minds. This professional tool is of great help in adding background music to videos, cutting shots, beautifying portraits, etc. However, some users feel that the background music in the CapCut library is not enough to meet their actual needs. Hence, downloading music from other platforms like Spotify and then importing it into CapCut for video editing may be a good choice.

In this article, we will walk you through the detailed process of importing Spotify songs to CapCut. Let's read on!

To import Spotify music to CapCut, the first step should be downloading the songs you want from Spotify and the second also, the last step is to upload the downloaded Spotify songs to CapCut for further editing. The following article is divided into two parts based on these two main steps in general.


Part 1. Download Spotify Songs to Local PC

To download Spotify songs, we strongly recommend Tidabie Music Go, a powerful tool born to download music from music platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, Line Music, Pandora, and more. Additionally, you can also download music from websites like YouTube, SoundCloud, Veoh, Vimeo, etc. You can download any background music you want online with just a few clicks. The output formats include MP3, AAC, AIFF, WAV, FLAC, and ALAC, which are media formats supported by most video editors. For more features of Tidabie Music Go, please see below:

  • Save music forever even when the subscription expires.

STEP 1 Choose Spotify As Music Source

Start Tidabie Music Go on your computer. You will see the interface as follows. You will need to choose "Spotify" from the given music source choices. Then either the Spotify web player or the Spotify app will pop up. Normally, if there is a pre-installed Spotify app on your computer, Tidabie will initiate the app by default. On the contrary, if you have not installed the Spotify app before, Tidabie will initiate the built-in Spotify web player by default. There is a slight difference in audio quality between these two options. When downloading music from the Spotify app, you will be able to get up to 320 kbps quality. Next, log in to your Spotify Free/Premium account.

STEP 2 Change Audio File Output Settings

First and foremost, it is important to figure out what types of audio file formats CapCut are supported. Then you can set up the output format accordingly. CapCut supports importing media files like AAC, M4A, MP3, FLAC, and WAV formats. Just go to the "Settings" module to set up the output format or other parameters. We recommend choosing "Convert Mode" as the conversion mode to ensure as high quality as possible. Here, we choose "MP3" as an example.

Navigate to the embedded Spotify web player or the Spotify app. Find the needed songs to download. When a blue "Click to add" icon shows up, it means the song/playlist/album is ready to be parsed. Simply click on it to start parsing.
