Here’s a revised version of the passage, optimized for search engines like Google:
“Music plays a vital role in our lives, and platforms like Spotify and Apple Music provide convenient access to high-quality tunes anytime, anywhere. But have you ever wondered how much data these apps consume, and what you can do to conserve it?
How to Listen to Music with Spotify and Similar Apps
Streaming
Simply open Spotify, choose a song, and hit play to start streaming music instantly. While this method offers immediate access to a vast library of songs without using your device’s memory, it relies on an internet connection and consumes data. Be mindful of your data usage, as excessive streaming may deplete your data allowance.
Downloading
Downloading songs over Wi-Fi or ample data allows you to save them directly to your device for offline listening. This method doesn’t consume data when you play downloaded songs repeatedly, and it’s ideal for areas with poor internet connectivity. However, downloading too many songs may eat up your device’s storage space.

The amount of data consumed by music apps such as Spotify
There are many popular music apps such as Line Music, Apple Music, AWA, Amazon Music, etc., but we will use Spotify as an example here.
Spotify’s sound quality
Spotify offers four types of sound quality.
- Low
- Standard
- High
- Highest
The best sound quality can only be selected if you are a paying member.
In addition to selecting the sound quality of a song beforehand, you can also select “Auto Sound Quality,” in which Spotify selects the appropriate sound quality for playback according to the network communication status.
The songs that are compatible with each sound quality are as follows
| Low | 24Kbps |
| Standard | 96 Kbps |
| High | 160 Kbps |
| Highest | 320 Kbps |
Spotify Data Consumption
Assuming you listen to music for 2 hours a day, your total time in a month would be 60 hours. The amount of data consumed for each sound quality is generally considered to be as follows
| sound quality | for 1 hour | for 60 hours |
| Low（24Kbps） | 10.8MB | 648MB（~0.63GB） |
| Standard（96Kbps） | 43.2MB | 2592MB（~2.5GB） |
| High（160Kbps） | 72MB | 4320MB（~4.2GB） |
| Highest（320Kbps） | 144MB | 8640MB（~8.5GB） |
Tips for Saving Data When Using Spotify
Download and Listen (Requires Spotify Premium Membership)
The simplest way to save data is by downloading music for offline listening. With downloaded songs, you can enjoy unlimited music without using much data or worrying about interruptions due to poor network connections. However, this feature is exclusive to Spotify Premium members and requires some storage space on your device.
Opt for Lower Sound Quality
If you’re not a Spotify Premium member but still want to conserve data, consider listening to music in lower sound quality. High-quality music consumes significantly more data compared to lower-quality options. Switching to lower-quality streams can help stretch your data allowance further, especially if you listen to music for extended periods.
Use WiFi at Home
When you’re primarily listening to music at home, leverage your WiFi connection to stream without using cellular data. Home WiFi typically offers unlimited data, allowing you to enjoy music without worrying about data caps. However, if you’re frequently on the go, this may not be a viable option.
Rent a Pocket WiFi for Anytime, Anywhere Listening
For uninterrupted high-quality music streaming, even when you’re out and about, consider renting a portable WiFi device. CDJapan Rental offers rental WiFi with generous data allowances, ensuring you can enjoy your favorite tunes without draining your phone’s data.
