To avoid running up data charges for those of use without unlimited plans on our mobile devices:   It would be fantastic if spotify could detect the absence of the WiFi network and automatically switch to offline mode to avoid streaming on 3G/4G. Ideally, you could turn this option on or off depending on your preference. Even the ability to simply turn off 3G streaming would be an improvement (this option already exists for synching).    As it is, i have to remember to turn offline mode on and off everytime i leave a wifi network. This frequent toggling of the offline mode has resulted in the loss of my synched content on several occasions. Adding this feature to the settings menu would save me time and money, improve the overall experience of the app, and create another draw for the premium subscription.   Anyone agree? Thanks! ...

Hi, while in the road, I usually use Offline Mode, but browsing for downloaded albums in the album list (I use iOS) is very annoying, such I have such a long list of favorite albums.   The suggestion is to KEEP OFFLINE ALBUMS ON TOP OF THE ALBUMS LIST, or create a filtering option.   Also, I think that in offline mode you should only be able to see what you have downloaded, since the other items are useless. ...

I leave my phone (iPhone 4) in my car on airplane mode. Every time I open the app I get this notification:   "Turn Off Airplane Mode or Use Wi-Fi to Access Data"   I have all of my songs saved locally and do not wish to turn on Wi-Fi or the cell radio. It would be nice if there was an option to disable this notification for those that know and intend to leave their phone/device offline while playing songs. I am curious if this is the same for devices, such as the iPod touch, that do not constantly have a connection to the internet?   Thanks for a great app! ... View more

I am a Spotify premium user.  Because of poor 3G/4G coverage where I am, due to a low data contract and due to frequent travel overseas, I switch off cellular data for Spotify.  As a result, every time I start the app when not in a wifi zone, I get a message warning me that "mobile data is turned off for Spotify".  This message comes up every time; it cannot be suppressed.   This in turn causes a problem with the recently launched BMW interface; manual intervention is required to get the message cleared, and all the controls to work properly - not good when driving...   So far, support have suggested that I manually put my phone into offline mode when driving, and then go into online mode when not.  But given the amount of times many users use their car, how many will remember to do that?  And as a result, it would mean a manual intervention when driving again...   Therefore, please can Spotify consider a simple setting within the app which allows the app to automatically go into offline mode when there is no wifi coverage present?  Obviously this could only be enabled by premium users.   This would solve all the above problems.   Many thanks! ...

so I just got spotify, and paid for 3 months premium membership.   my biggest question is, WHY IS SPOTIFY SO COMPLICATED?!?!?   I need to make a playlist in order to play my songs in it offline. what if I want to save all my albums for off-line mode? will I have to make playlist for each? what is the point?!?! argh... I really thought spotify was easy and upfront. but I found out it is complicated, and backwards. it reminds me of Apple Inc.. instead of making things easy like on Android, they make you download their crappy iTunes and 'sync', basically do unnecessary steps in order to confuse you, just so they can be control freaks.   PLEASE ALLOW ALBUMS TO BE PLAYED IN OFFLINE MODE! if not, please let us know why they aren't. because this is confusing, and unnecessary.    Thank you. ...

I've been a Spotify subscriber for 4 or 5 years now, and the three device limit for offline sync has always seemed a bit on the low side. At the moment I regularly use 5 devices (Android smartphone, android tablet, iPad Air, Linux laptop and Windows desktop). Only being able to use three of these for offline access is somewhat annoying (note that Apple iTunes allows 5 devices)   This means lots of resyncing and downloading of tracks over mobile data at times (I can easily chew through 700MB+ when I'm travelling - notably when downloading tracks before I end up at a hotel with terrible or heavily filtered/restricted internet or being in an area without 3G).   So, please up the limit for number of offline devices. I'm thinking 6 sounds like a more sensible number.     You might also want to think about providing users with other options for offline access, where they can choose the most suitable for their use. For example, you could have, say, three options where the user can change between them:   "Up to 3 devices, playback is locked out after 30 days of that device not being logged-in to spotify" (default) OR  "Up to 6 devices, playback is locked out after 15 days of that device not being logged-in to spotify" OR "An unlimited number of devices, but you must have logged in within the past 48 hours for offline playback to function.")     ...

I currently have playlists on 3 devices: notebook, android phone, and ipad.  (I'll assume that limit is due to licensing) When you released the android update that required a wipe out of my offline list, i grumbled but okay fine what has to be done has to be done.   When I turned on my iPad and it phoned home it gave me the message : "You already have offline mode enabled on 3 devices, please quit and restart" and it wiped out my offline playlist for my iPad!  For whatever reason,  the new Android install Spotify opted to treat as a new device.   Can the Spotify team PLEASE make it so if you detect that potentially more than 3 devices have offline mode enabled, to give us a prompt to pick which device(s) we want to have wiped out (or alternatively 'Please select the 3 devices you want to maintain your offline playlists") and then wipe tthe none selected device out upon log in.  This isn't the first time this 3 device limit has came to haunt me.  I tried turning off offline mode on a device before selling it but it didn't bring down the count to 2 to prevent wiping out of my iPad when it logged in to Spotify.  If a pop up menu on the device isn't possible, how about an interface on the Spotify website  that lets me select up to 3 devices to 'protect'. If i have all 3 protected,  i can't enable offline mode on any other device.   If I have 2 devices protected,  only the 'unprotected' device gets wiped out next time it connects and detects that 4 devices have offline mode for an account.   Last suggestion regarding this which can be applied in combination with the above or just alone,  when I select offline mode, have Spotify check to see if 3 devices are there w/ offline mode enable  and say "if you enable offline mode on this device, another device will lose its offline media, do you wish to continue?" and if someone accepts you can refer them to the aforementioned pop up or website so they can select a device to be wiped.   Those are just some suggestions.  Anything will be better than the current method of wiping out the device w/o giving the user a chance to prevent it.  Please please find a new way. 🙂 A loyal yet frustrated fan, M ...

In v2 of the iphone app, when I am offline, the option to add a song to a playlist disappears. This was not the case in previous versions of the app. Having this feature is now even more important under the new system without Starred songs, because now I have no way to save or flag a favorite song while I am offline e.g. When I am listening on the subway underground. ...

Ever since the new update, i'm are not capable of searching for songs/artist/albums on my Android device if I am offline. This is incredibly frustrating because this means I have to scroll through me playlist (containing over 700 songs on each playlist) to find one indivisual track,arist, or album. Spotify needs to bring this feature back to android devices. ... View more
