  1. How to Fix Spotify "Waiting to Download" Issue(2020) When you want to download songs from Spotify or load your synced music on your device, instead of finishing the download in real quick, your Spotify only shows a prompt reads “Waiting to Download”. Even you have already wait for a long time, the download is still not yet started. In the following parts, we're going to introduce 5 common methods and an ultimate solution to totally get out of the Spotify "Waiting to Download" issue. Common Ways to Fix Spotify "Waiting to Download" Issue Before you try to fix the downloading issue, make sure that you already have the latest Spotify app on your phone and computer. Sometimes reinstall the Spotify app might work. And in order to save battery, Spotify will not download songs when the phone screen is off or the Spotify app is running in the background. Keep Spotify in the front and change the sleep time to "Never

  2. Sleep" may work for some users. If you still can't fix it, stay tuned for the following solutions. 1. Make Sure Your Premium Plan is Active Spotify only offers downloading service to Premium users. So if you're not yet a Premium user, you'll have to subscribe to a plan among Individual, Duo, Family and Student. If you already are a Premium user, make sure your plan is not expired which can be a reason for download unavailability. 2. You Might Have Too Many Downloads Spotify might have been ambiguous on this matter, but there's a limited number of songs you can download to your device. You can download the maximum of 10,000 songs in total and about 3,333 songs in each playlist. So if you exceed the number, Spotify won't let you download more songs. You'll have to check out your offline library and delete some songs that you might not want to tune in in the future. And then restart the app and resume the download. 3. Check Your Phone Storage Make sure you have enough storage on your phone to download Spotify songs. If you're running out of it, you can delete Spotify cache to free up your phone. Deleting cache will not affect songs you've already downloaded to your phone. To delete Spotify cache: 1. Tap the Gear icon in the upper left of the Spotify home screen and scroll down to Storage. 2. Tap "Delete cache" and tap again to confirm.

  3. 4. Use the same Wi-Fi Connection to fix Spotify "Waiting to Download" Local Files When you want to sync your local files on the computer to your phone.

  4. 1. Search for Windows Firewall from the Start menu, and then open it by clicking Window Defender Firewall. 2.
