Download of Albums for offline use worked up until a few weeks ago

[muxens]

Hi Streaming-People,

up until a few weeks ago I was able to "download" albums to my library in my Desktop App.  Now it does not work any more. Why ?

Hey @muxens ! 🙂
I hope you are enjoying your time in the Community!
It is currently not possible to download albums offline in the desktop app - as referenced in this support article. 
There is a live idea though that you can vote on -or follow- to possibly see this implemented.
Hope this was helpful and have an amazing day! 🙂

Good news!

A new desktop app update with a new design is currently rolling out to all users. One of the new features is the ability to download albums and podcasts just like you can in the mobile app.

You can read more info about the new desktop app in this news article:

The desktop team also has a blog post in the community about it:
