Spotify keep downloading datas on cellular network

Spotify keep downloading datas on cellular network

Hello,

 

I just noticed my data limit of my phone plan has just been reached, because Spotify is downloading datas although I turned off the option "Download over 2G, 3G" and I'm playing music that is available offline (playlist shows a green arrow).

I made a test today on my way to work: 30min playback of offline playlist, it has downloaded 45.5 Mb. What the **bleep** has been downloaded? Maybe the cover images but it's not working every time. And honestly: 30 min = 6-8 songs, so the images would weight 5-6 Mb each...

 

I know I could turned off the data consume in the iOS Settings, but I want to have to possibility to stream a song when I want.

 

After the problem with the desktop app that write to many datas, I'm going to think that Spotify has a really big issue with data management...

Yep similar issue for me. Drive to work and back listening to spotify tracks which have been dowloded to the device, toal listening time of say 1 hour. iOS mobile data usage is showing 245mb!!! I also have the cellular download switched off. I've blown through my 2Gb data allowance this month already and don't reset for another 10 days!
