How is this possible as my music is only 400 tracks and takes up over 3 gigs. Is spotify music the same quality? does it take up less space offline? If so how? And what would the limit be?&nbsp;</SPAN></P> Sun, 22 Jun 2014 01:58:41 GMT Shadow23 2014-06-22T01:58:41Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/How-is-offline-music-stored/m-p/831763#M30646 <P><SPAN>.I currently download my music from google play but someone told me that he has upto 1000 songs stored with just a couple of gigs of space used.

Have you asked him what quality setting he uses?</P> <P>What quality does google play download in?</P> <P>Please note also that Spotify stores it's music with strict DRM, only Spotify can play the track, I can't remember what format it reads but that might affect it ever so slightly although no where near as much as that.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Anthony <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Sun, 22 Jun 2014 06:59:10 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/How-is-offline-music-stored/m-p/831825#M30652 Taylor 2014-06-22T06:59:10Z
