Chicken and the Egg

[Fooball]

I'm having a problem with my offline sync. I can get all the songs synced on my phone, but when I don't have an internet connection and/or force the ap into offline mode, I am not able to access Spotify because I am prompted to enter my logon information when I launch the ap (which requires internet access to verify). I am thus unable to access any music when I don't have an internet connection.

This doesn't seem normal. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?
