Download ViWizard Spotify Music Converter for Mac

In the edit

The built-in Spotify Web Player is where ViWizard Spotify Music Converter starts. You log into your account inside the app, pick a playlist or album, and the tracks appear ready for conversion. No fiddling with external browsers or manual copy-paste.

Set the output format and organise by artist

Before converting, I chose MP3 as the output and told the app to save files by artist then album. That way a playlist full of different acts lands in neat folders, not a single flat list. ViWizard handles MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, M4A and M4B, so you can pick what your editing workflow or portable player expects.

Run a batch conversion and keep the metadata

I selected the whole playlist — maybe twenty tracks — and hit convert. The batch ran without me touching anything, and every file came out with its artist, album and track number intact. That metadata saves time later when you’re tagging or importing into another library.

Find the finished files where you told it to put them

The output folder was exactly where I set it, with the folder structure I asked for. One playlist, one action, twenty files ready to move or archive. The whole job took maybe a few minutes and didn’t need a second look.

Set your output folder first

Once the app is in your Applications folder and you've cleared Gatekeeper, give the interface a quick look before you drop a playlist in. Set your output folder first — the default location is fine, but if you archive a lot of music, you'll thank yourself later for pointing it to a dedicated drive or a folder you back up regularly.

Pick your format and bitrate right away. If you're unsure, MP3 at 320 kbps covers most listening scenarios and keeps file sizes reasonable. For archival purposes, FLAC is worth a look. The app remembers your settings between sessions, so you only do this once.

Log into your Spotify account through the built-in web player. That's the only login you need — no secondary accounts or tokens to manage. Once you're in, browse your library as you normally would. I'd suggest converting a single track first, just to confirm the output path and naming structure behave the way you expect. After that, go ahead and queue up a full playlist.

Perfect for commuters and frequent flyers

If you're a commuter who hits stretches with patchy mobile signal, having your Spotify library as local MP3s means no buffering and no data usage. The same goes for anyone who flies regularly — aeroplane mode doesn't have to mean silence.

Music collectors who keep a local archive alongside streaming services will appreciate the metadata retention. When you convert a carefully curated playlist, the files arrive tagged with artist, album and track number, so they slot straight into an existing library without manual cleanup.

Podcast and audiobook listeners also benefit. ViWizard handles those formats too, and exporting to M4B keeps chapter markers intact for long-form content. If you've ever lost your place in a three-hour podcast because the streaming app forgot where you were, having a local file solves that.

Photographers and video editors working on Macs might find this useful for sourcing background music. I know plenty of colleagues who keep a folder of converted tracks for client slideshows and sizzle reels, where you need the file in a specific format and don't want to rely on an internet connection during an edit session.

How a wedding photographer uses it to keep music offline

A friend of mine shoots destination weddings and spends about ten hours a month in the air. Before he started using ViWizard, he'd queue up Spotify playlists on his phone and hope the cached tracks survived the flight. They often didn't. Now he converts his travel playlists to MP3 before he leaves, drops them on an external SSD, and plays them from the Mac's music app offline. He tells me the batch conversion saves him the most time — select the playlist, set it going, pack his bag, and the files are ready by the time he's zipped his case.

Runs on any Mac from OS X 10.10 and Intel processors

ViWizard version 2.17.0 runs on any Mac with OS X 10.10 or later and an Intel processor. It's a 64-bit application, so older 32-bit-only Macs won't work, but anything from the late 2000s onward should be fine. The installer comes as a disk image, and you'll need to authorise it through Gatekeeper the first time — that's a one-step Terminal command, not a recurring hassle.

The interface is available in English, German, French and Japanese, so switching languages doesn't require a system-level change. The app itself is lightweight; it uses the Spotify Web Player for access, so you need an internet connection during conversion, but the output files are yours to keep and play offline forever.

Once installed, it lives in your Applications folder like any other Mac app. No background services, no menu bar extras, no persistent processes eating resources when you're not using it. Open it when you need to convert something, close it when you're done.
