My Question or Issue

I’ve recently switched from a student premium plan to a family premium plan (I am a member, not the owner of the plan). All my premium perks stayed the same, expect when trying to listen to downloaded music. I am able to download music, the green circle appears next to the album and each song on the album. When I go offline, the album still has the green circle next to it, but none of the songs have it and I am not able to play any of the songs. A message appears when I tap on a song saying I have to go online to play it. I’ve tried logging out and back in, and performing a clean reinstall of the app. I’m not sure what other option there is.

Hello @hay0325!

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, if the steps in the thread didn't do the trick, there's not much I can suggest other than waiting for Spotify to fix this. If you're really desperate for a fix, as a workaround you could create a new account and transfer your content to it. You can learn how to transfer all your playlists to your new account here.

Let me know if I can help with anything else!
