Hi @moderator. Why did you take that terrible decision? I have two hard disks, an SSD with 120 GB in where I have the OS and the programs, and an HDD 1 TB for files and downloads. Now because of you I had to delete the downloaded music because i will get full quickie my SSD, a disk I use only for OS System and Programs Software. You must restore that option, we have the rights for choose wherever we want to download our music!

Removing the ability to select a location for an offline storage is a very poor move - it is a step backwards, not an advance in app development.
I can't afford to keep so much data on the system drive, that's why I have a second drive. This solution actually prevents me from listening to music offline. And listening to music offline is one of the reasons why I pay for a Premium account.
