Is playing downloaded tracks while online counted as a "listened to"?

[AmyKareki]

My fandom is planning to organize a streaming project for our favorite artist on Spotify. Since we're all newbies, I want to make sure everytime we play our artist's tracks it's counted as a "listened to". We're moving from a Korean hybrid streaming host/digital store to Spotify so we're confused about the stream count system. I already did the research on how offline mode works, I knew that the streams will be counted when users go online again, but none of them mention about how the streams counted when we play downloaded tracks in online mode.

Hey @AmyKarekim, welcome to the Community.

Hope you are doing great!

Yes streams are counted even when you are offline so everything should work as expected.

If you have another question just ping me 🙂

Have a nice day!
