One click and all offline songs are gone

One click and all offline songs are gone

Hi there

 

I had one playlist with 1000+ songs that I made Available Offline. Unfortunately, I think I deselected the Available Offline button atop this playlist in my pocket. Now I need to completely redownload all 1000+ songs.

 

Could I recommend perhaps in the next update having the app only delete Offline files after a certain period when Available Offline is deselected? Or perhaps implement a confirmation message? It seems a little like poor design when one accidental click can wipe 1000+ songs from your phone without any other steps.

 

Thanks for taking my suggestion on board and I am otherwise loving the product.

 

Tom

The application won't automatically remove content straight away when you deselect available offline normally for exactly this reason. 

Are you sure it is actually redownloading the tracks? Normally on my device it looks like it is but in reality it is just marking them as downloaded again (I'm guessing there is some communication with Spotify to get licenses for those tracks again though).
