Turn off Offline Backup

[SkipBopJr]

Hi,

I updated Spotify for the first time in over a year, and the new feature "Offline Backup" is very annoying. I understand it's convenience, however, it fails to grasp exactly what I enjoy listening to. With that, I began looking for ways to turn it off. If I'm not going to listen to those songs, I dont want them downloaded to my device. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to disable the automatic download of the playlist without going into offline mode. I'd rather not stay in offline mode just so I don't have the playlist downloaded, so any help is well appreciated.

I'm afraid there's no way to disable the "Offline Backup" playlist, but I get where you're coming from. If you'd like, you can go ahead and create an idea about this on the relevant idea board. Here you can read more on how ideas work.
