Playlist Folders unavailable w/o connection

[markdmc]

When Spotify is opened when an internet connection is not available, folder contents cannot be accessed and will remain inaccessible until an internet connection is made in online mode.

Folders are greyed out 
Song count reads "Loading ..,."

    Folder cannot be opened

    Same behavior even if all the playlists contained by the folder are completely downloaded, as well as if the folder contains no offline files.

Here is a link to a google doc image of what greyed-out folders look like.

The same behavior also occurs if Spotify is opened in offline mode with a connection available.

Only after Spotify has connected and synched do the folders become available offline.

Obviously, this bug makes it  (occassionally) impossible, and certainly inadvisable, to use Folders as a way to organize offline playlists.

I can confirm this happens .0.6.4.46. Too. I'll escalate this so they can add it to their todo list.

I can't replicate this on my S3 (International).

So:

I open a folder

I open a playlist

I download said playlist

I exit Spotify and end the task

I turn on Airplane mode

I start Spotify

I can now enter the folder and access those playlists I downloaded

Did I misunderstand the bug?

There you go - we're just silly thinking a greyed out folder can't be opened to reveal downloaded goodness. Thanks 🙂

Hey guys!

When you go into Offline Mode you'll only be able to access your synced playlists. Do these still show up above the playlist folders section?

Haha beat me to it.

Yes and the folders can be accessed too, even though they're greyed out.
