While listening to synced music, Spotify uses too much data

[joaoalm]

Hi everyone,

I use Spotify on my iphone mainly to listen to playlists the I've synced to listen offline and don't think that the amount of data Spotify uses while listening to music that's already on my phone is reasonable. I've used spotidy on the go for at most 2 hours today and it used over 60 mb.

I know I can set Spotify to offline, but that way it won't sync with Last.fm and I ultimately I'm lazy with things that shouldn't be an issue.

Hello!

If you sync offline, and play those songs but don't turn on "Offline Mode" in the settings just in playlists (you stay online) it will scrobble the tracks you play 🙂

Just check this for the playlists you want offline:

Don't go into settings and click "Offline Mode" it will not scrobble to Last.fm (at least for me).
