[Summary]: The article provides a step-by-step guide on how to add songs from Spotify to iMovie as a background music for your videos with a powerful Spotify Music Converter.

“As a long-term tenant of Spotify, I have the ability to download my favorite music to a local music library. But this doesn’t seem to work for adding Spotify songs to iMovie. Is there any effective way to make my Spotify music compatible with iMovie perfectly?”

iMovie provides a wonderful platform for video editing where numbers of video clips can be joined together so easily in order to create something very interesting. With Spotify Premium subscription, you can get the offline playback feature and download songs, playlists or albums for offline listening. But I am afraid that it is impossible to directly import Spotify Music songs to iMovie since Spotify songs are in DRM protected Ogg Vorbis format and can only be played with Spotify app. iMovie supported audio File formats like MP3, WAV, M4A, AIFF, AAC, MP4, MOV, MPEG-2, AVCHD, DV, HDV, MPEG-4, H.264, etc, while all editing tools including iMovie don’t support Ogg Vorbis format. Perhaps you are bothering how to add Spotify music to iMovie as background music for your video, what you should do?
