Using Spotify is a great way to get all of your favourite music in one single place, ready to be streamed or even downloaded. But if you're the owner of a MacBook, then that could be a little more difficult, as the Spotify app is available only for iOS, not macOS. Let's find out, then, how to get Spotify on MacBook so you can have your songs anywhere.
Apple has been on a roll recently, with devices such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 15 pro making the rounds, but clearly the MacBook remains a much beloved series of computers.
So let's bring the music to our little computers and find out how to get Spotify on it.
How to get Spotify on Macbook
You have two choices on how to use Spotify on Mac, you can install the app or just simply use the web player in the browser.
Having the app installed allows you much better control of your music, along with choosing the bitrate and other interesting options.
Let's look at how to do it.
How to install the Spotify App on Mac
Since the app is not available outside of iOS, to download Spotify for Mac, you should follow these steps:

- Now look for "Donwload" in the top menu, click it.
- Allow your computer to download the installer.
- Once the download is finished, unzip it and double-click the file to begin the installation process.
- Once complete, the app should open. Now you can simply log in with the usual options.
That should allow you to enjoy all your favourite albums and podcasts without any more issues. If the installation process failed, make sure you don't have another version of the app previously installed.

If you don't want to go through the process of installing another app on your MacBook, for some reason, then you can simply listen to all your favorite albums and pocasts on the web browser.
