Ive got the Spotify premium subscription and want to be able to play specific podcast episodes via my smartwatch so I need a way to get the audio in a simple format, it doesn’t have to be high quality.
Podcasts are distributed via RSS. Use any RSS reader instead of Spotify.
Spotify exclusive podcasts are not distributed via RSS.
How can I download them in a simple audio format suitable for a smartwatch?
Each episode in the RSS feed has an audio file (MP3, at least with the one I tested) linked. You can just download that.
Are the podcasts exclusive to Spotify? If not have you tried any dedicated podcast apps?
I haven’t. So is it typical of them to allow downloading audio files of their podcasts from their websites?
Check out PodGrab
Dont know if this helps,but on the f-droid store (open source app store), there is an app called spotiflyer, that downloads musicfiles from spotify as mp3.
This may help: Spotube Edit: it doesn’t support podcast, sorry.
