Question

I'm trying to download an album, but it says I have discovered a premium feature. What should I do?

Downloading albums is only for people who pay to subscribe to Spotify. If you can't or won't pay, you can still listen to the album (the mobile app will only let you shuffle the album with other suggested songs, but you can listen to the full album in the proper order on the desktop app).
