What is Spotify cache?
Spotify cache is the songs you listen to on Spotify. It saves data on your Mac so that if you play the same song more than once in a session, it doesn’t have to stream it over the internet again, it just uses the data in the file.
Now imagine how much cache is created if you listen to Spotify all day long! My advice: get rid of it. Here’s how…
How to minimize Spotify cache?
Before trying to get rid of Spotify’s cache completely, try to make it smaller in size first to free some room on your Mac.
BTW, did you know that you can change the audio quality settings for streaming and downloaded music on Spotify?
The higher the quality, the more data that will stream and the more that will be cached. If you reduce the quality, Spotify will stream less data, so the size of its cache will be smaller. Here’s what you need to do:
Open Spotify, click on the Spotify menu, then choose Settings.
Scroll down to Audio quality and click the menu next to Streaming Quality.
Choose the Normal or Low option.
