My Question or Issue

So I have a roughly 30 mile drive (one way) every day to/from work, mostly through the toolies, so cell signal is unreliable. Yay for offline mode and being able to download my music beforehand. However, my listening habits are to find an artist that suits my mood and listen to my favorite albums over and over and over and over (I blame the 'tism). However, aside from setting up a Playlist, I can't seem to get an artist's discography to play while in offline mode. I can only do one album at a time (heck you cant even just view your downloaded music by artist, ONLY by album name... and it doesnt even put them in release order, so i HAVE to remember which one is the newest if thats what i want to listen to). Also, why can I not seem to find a "repeat/loop" option? "This is a non-issue, just do a playlist" you might say, and I would respond with "ain't nobody got time for that/it plays stuff out of order/basic features of every other music player since ye Olde days of Winamp".

Loving Spotify thus far, aside from the lack of what I consider basic functionality

Hey there @mustangman03gt,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community.

If you want to listen to a specific artist's full discography in Offline mode, you can download all their albums beforehand and then just go to the Artist page while in offline mode and tap on the Play button to listen to all songs from that artist. However, in this case, you wouldn't be able to listen to them in release order. What you can do as a workaround is adding the albums to a playlist or to the Queue so that they will play in the order you prefer.

On another note, you can find the Repeat button in Now playing view:

If you tap on it once, it becomes green and it'll repeat the whole playlist or album and if you tap on it again and you see a "1" it means it'll repeat only that one track.

Hope this helps. If you need a hand with anything else, the Community is here for you.
