Tool Required: Tunelf Spotify Music Converter

Why you need this tool? This is because when you use Spotify music in iMovie, the songs are not viewable in the editor app. This means that the format of Spotify music is not supported and you can't use it for your video. 

The reason for this is that all music from Spotify is the streaming content instead of physical files. You need to extract music from Spotify to one of the iMovie supported formats.

If you want to add audio in iMovie, you must choose between MP3, WAV, M4A, AIFF, and AAC. With the help of Tunelf Spotify Music Converter, you can download Spotify music to MP3 and add Spotify music to iMovie without limitation. 

Tunelf Spotify Music Converter is a professional music downloader and converter for Spotify users which can download Spotify music to popular audio formats like MP3 and remove DRM protection from Spotify music.

Quick Steps to Use Tunelf to Download Spotify as MP3

Step 1: Add Spotify music to the converter

Launch Tunelf Music Converter for Spotify on your computer and it will automatically load the Spotify program. Then you need to log into your Spotify account and navigate to your library on Spotify.

For getting better audio quality, you can change other audio parameters, including bit rate, audio channel, and sample rate.

Once all the settings are completed, you could click the Convert button to begin to download music from Spotify to MP3.
