My Question or Issue

Hello. I use a lot the Windows Desktop version at my job. I downloaded a few playlists and listen to them in offline mode.

But I have a question. If I turn to online mode and listen to any of the playlists I downloaded, will Spotify play the music from my computer or will it play them from stream?

The question may be silly but as I am connected at network in my job I don't want to strangle network speed or bandwidth. It would give me troubles...

Thank you.

Hi there @LSMelo

thanks for posting !

First i must say, no question is silly.

The Spotify app is an online streaming service with a download/offline/local files features that provides the user with the option to either add/download tracks for offline puproses.

However, the app's first choice of connection would always be using the network connection the device is listed on.

Hope this sheds some light.

Don't hesitate asking any further questions you may have
