Offline mode setting really necessary?

Offline mode setting really necessary?

My question is as follows and I'll try my best to not make it confusing to understand.

 

If I am not in "Offline mode" but I have a playlist that I just made "Offline" do I really have to go to the settings button for "Offline mode" each time to avoid using my mobile data? Is the app capable yet of understanding that I already made the playlist offline and will automatically not use my modile data for that paticular playlist? It just seems like a unneccesary step to have to go back and forth sometimes just for the "Offline mode" settings button.

Hey,

When you sync a playlist for offline use, those tracks are stored locally on your phone and accessed whenenever you want to listen to them. It does not matter whether or not you force Offline Mode; synced tracks available for offline use will always be played using the locally available track (and thus not use data). Try putting your phone in Airplane Mode and you'll see that you can't stream new music but you can play your offline playlists.

Yest, it is.

Great to hear that and thanks for the quick reply.
