Bandwidth / Usage and Lag Qustion

Bandwidth / Usage and Lag Qustion

Hi All,

 

So recently I decided to create a huuuge playlist for myself and friends to listen to while driving. My question is this:

 

Will having more than 2000 / 3000 songs in my playlist cause any additional costs in bandwidth on the mobile version? Obviously it needs to load all songs but not the songs themselves? Will things load faster or use more bandwidth as opposed to a playlist with say, 10 songs in it.

 

Thanks!

Hey @Prawnapple

 

The amount of songs in a playlist shouldn't matter. Of course the more songs you stream the more data it will use. The app loads the list of songs so you can see what is in the playlist, but data isn't used until you start streaming each song.
