Extremely slow startup.

[Rollo_]

Android Version 4.4.2, Spotify Version 4.8.0.1004.   

I think its trying to update all the playlists, I have a ton off them.  Sometimes a startup takes a few minutes, even after rebooting.  Kinda hard to fix when I'm driving. 

Tried switching to offline mode, the options is missing in preferences.  Why? 

Also tried tuning off cellular data, but that option is now missing too.  Why? 

There SHOULD be an option to make playlist updates manual.

The slow startups, though.  Unacceptable, and its been that way for quite a while.
