Hi @kompresse, thanks for writing!
That's an interesting question 🙂
As far as I know, offline listens are counted and sent to Spotify's server the next time you connect to the Internet. Private listening mode is also counted.
Keep in mind that to count a song as "one play" or "one stream" a song has to be listened to for 30 seconds or more.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
