I've noticed that if I'm not online, sings that I've downloaded to playlists that start with an e, don't play?

Hey @leestjames, thanks for reaching out to the Community!
Could you try restarting your device? If that doesn't help, try a clean reinstall of the app following these steps.
If you're still having trouble, let me know what device this happens on, as well as the current software version. Also, attach a screenshot or screen recording of what you’re seeing and I’ll take a closer look.
Let me know how this goes!
Hey @leestjames,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
A clean reinstall includes the removal of all downloads from the app, apologies if that caused any confusion. Could you let us know if you have an SD card on the device you're experiencing this on? If that's the case it's a good idea to remove it, restart the device and perform one more clean reinstall. This way we can determine if the storage location causes this behavior. Make sure to also add Spotify as an exception to all cache clearing and battery optimization apps you might have installed.
We'd also appreciate a couple of screenshots of the playlists in your library before and after the issue occurs. Just make sure to hide any private/ sensitive info.
Keep us posted. We're always one reply away.
Thank you, there is an SD card which I took out and rebooted, cleared data and cache from Spotify and then deleted the app and started again. I have allowed all permissions on it and swept my ph for virus etc so am sending some screenshots and maybe you'll understand what's going on. I went through this whole process yesterday as well so it's really time consuming to go to every playlist and every album and do download again ?
