Offline syncing for web player

Submitted by on ‎2013-04-19 01:22 PM

Hi everyone, and if you're new here, welcome!

 

I think it would be useful to have an offline mode available for the Spotify web player. It should be able to be done utilising HTML5 and cookies etc.

I also believe this would enhance Chromium OS users' experience (I don't use it but I know people who do and I think they would like it) as they don't have access to Spotify desktop application so have to use the web player, and they should be entitled to the same primary features as the desktop player.

Obviously it would only be available to users who have premium accounts. The ones with free/unlimited accounts won't have the feature as offline syncing is a premium subscription item.

 

Let me know what you think!

This sounds like an awesome idea! Packing as many features into the web player that the desktop client possesses would be great. This would be especially great for those who are restricted with their connections or if they're not permitted to install unapproved software on their units.

Could probably be done using local storage :winking_face:

I think an app for Chrome OS would be just as effective
