Spotify Ideas

[#1]

To avoid running up data charges for those of use without unlimited plans on our mobile devices:

It would be fantastic if spotify could detect the absence of the WiFi network and automatically switch to offline mode to avoid streaming on 3G/4G. Ideally, you could turn this option on or off depending on your preference. Even the ability to simply turn off 3G streaming would be an improvement (this option already exists for synching). 

As it is, i have to remember to turn offline mode on and off everytime i leave a wifi network. This frequent toggling of the offline mode has resulted in the loss of my synched content on several occasions. Adding this feature to the settings menu would save me time and money, improve the overall experience of the app, and create another draw for the premium subscription.

Anyone agree? Thanks!

yes! would indeed be very welcome to have an option not to use 3G at all. just to avoid using limited data plans. (unfortunately i sometimes forget to enable offline mode)

Hey James, I think this would be a great idea too. I hope you don't mind but I edited the title to make it a bit less shouty. Hopefully this will help it attract a few more votes.

This would be great as I am constantly using up my data allowance because I don't realise I'm streaming over 3G I can use the phones settings to stop spotify using data in the background but this also stops last.fm scrobbling which sucks

Only ideas with 40+ kudos should have the good idea status.

I just maxed out my limit two months in a row because of listening to Spotify without using offline mode. Activating it automatically would be a great help. Obviously, you'd be able to override it manually.
