Issue with Local Downloads Not Playing in Airplane Mode - Need Troubleshooting Help!

[ltn1dr]

Hey fellow Spotify Community members,

I hope everyone is having a great time listening to their favorite tunes on Spotify! I'm reaching out today because I'm facing a rather puzzling issue with the Spotify app on my iPhone, and I'm hoping someone can lend a hand in troubleshooting it.

Here's the problem: I have a bunch of songs downloaded locally on my iPhone so that I can enjoy them even in Airplane mode during flights. However, lately, I've been encountering a strange situation. When I attempt to play these locally downloaded songs while in Airplane mode, some of them just won't play any audio.

It's a bit frustrating because the timer progresses as if the song is playing, but there's no sound at all. I've double-checked, and these songs are definitely downloaded to my device, so I'm not sure why they won't play in Airplane mode.

I've tried a few basic troubleshooting steps like restarting the app, toggling Airplane mode on and off, and even reinstalling the Spotify app, but none of them seem to have resolved the issue.

Before this, I've had no problems with locally downloaded songs, and they always played seamlessly during my flights. I'm not sure if there's a new app update or a specific setting I need to adjust to fix this problem.

If anyone has experienced a similar issue or has any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this, I'd be incredibly grateful for your help! Music is an essential part of my travel experience, and I'm hoping to get this resolved before my next flight.

Looking forward to your valuable input and thanks in advance for your assistance!

Thanks!!
