Solved!! Is there a way of only viewing offline content (songs, albums, playlists) in android?

Even if I change to offline mode, all albums and palylists are shown, even the ones that are not downloaded. In other words, there isn't an easy way of getting a clear picture of what I have downloaded in my phone. Or is there? Many thanks,
