I am only allowed one device on the rig internet at work and it's pretty slow most of time I'm up. Is it possible to transfer the downloaded spotify songs on my OE to my Nexus 7 via a file manager (rooted on my phone, but not yet on the Nexus, hopefully I'll be able to while out here)
 
I don't use Spotify but if the songs just download to your sd card then you can use Dropbox and Dropsync to upload from your Elite and download to your Nexus 7.

You make a folder in Dropbox and sync it with Dropsync, and then everything you put in that folder will automatically download to all of your devices that have Dropbox.

Hmm, interesting. I'm going to have to try that when I get home. Unfortunately, that isn't practical here because even during the time of day when the internet runs relatively well, it's still too slow to deal with that whole upload/download process (it would take a couple of days so long as it didn't reset/cancel in the middle).

Can anyone confirm whether or not I can just move the data file(s) from one device to the other?
 
You can transfer files over bluetooth. I don't even think root is required, just connect your devices and use your favorite file manager.
 
if I remember correctly, Spotify stores its data in either a hidden folder on the sd card or in the android secure folder. yes,it is possible, I would use adb to pull spotify's data and push it over.at the same time though.
 
Most newer android devices come with both parts of adb. There is adbd, which is what runs on the phone, and adb which runs on the computer. The two of them talk to each other across the usb cable. With newer devices having adb on them, it lets you use them to adb into a phone, another tablet, or even adb back into the same device. Here's a screenshot of me using my nexus7 to adb into my Elite. Since the Elite is rooted, you can pull any songs or other data you wanted from it. I'm using a $1 otg adapter from ebay and the stock charging cable.
