Can I Add Spotify Music to CapCut?
The short answer: Not directly. Spotify music is encrypted in a proprietary format (Ogg Vorbis) with DRM protection, which prevents CapCut from reading it.
To make Spotify music work in CapCut, you must first convert it into a CapCut-supported audio format such as MP3, WAV, or M4A.
Fortunately, TuneMobie Spotify Music Converter simplifies the entire process. It strips away Spotify’s DRM protection and saves your tracks in popular formats like MP3, WAV, and more. What is more, the songs after downloading retain 100% of the original audio quality and keeps complete ID3 tags intact, allowing you to seamlessly use your favorite Spotify songs in CapCut videos.
