Does offline music count up for statistics?

[luthierycosta]

Do the songs I listen offline count, for example, for Spotify to make my top 100 songs playlist, and for the song's general plays count?

Hey @luthierycosta

Yes, Spotify will count offline listening for a song's play count and your listening stats.

The way it works is if you are offline, the data is stored in the app, and the next time you turn on the internet on your device, the data is sent to Spotify.

Is there a limit to how much it can store? For example, if I’m in airplane mode & listen to 100 hrs of downloaded music, would Spotify save all of that? Thanks.

Hey @alorio,

Thank you for reaching out here in the Community! 

Yes, there's a limit of 10,000 songs that you can download on 5 different devices for offline listening. You will be able to download your playlists and enjoy them while offline as long as you're logged in on the account you paid Premium for. More info about offline listening you can find in this article. 

Hope this helps. Let us know you have any more questions.

How far back does spotify track offline streaming, is it only 1 hour or is there some form of limit of how far back it goes

I have found a loophole in the app, this consists of me turning my internet on just to put the songs on then turn the internet off. Does this count towards my listening hours and etc?
