Spotify has just added a small button to its desktop programme that may help reduce your carbon footprint by letting you download playlists to your computer rather than streaming them every time.

With the new function, you can now save a playlist to your device so that you can listen to music and podcasts when you’re offline, similar to the download button on the Spotify app.
