Downloaded songs not playing offline - iPhone

Downloaded songs not playing offline - iPhone

I've tried searching the forums and not come up with a solution to the my offline problem.

I am a Spotify Premium user, and none of my downloaded songs play offline.

 

I have tried:

  • Restarting my device
  • A clean reinstallation of Spotify
  • Redownloading all tracks
  • Changing download quality of tracks (and redownloading again)

Quite frustrating, any way to solve this issue?

This can't just be happening to me. It now appears that some of my songs play, and others do not despite all of them being downloaded for offline use.

I am still having this issue. Tracked marked, and downloaded for offline use to not play without cellular or wi-fi network. Multiple reinstallations have not helped.

I'm having a similar thing. I have set my Spotify to offline mode, and the setting on my iphone so that it doesn't use data but when I shuffle songs it continues to play songs that aren't offline.

 

I'm a bit weary that I'm going to end up with a hefty phone bill!!!!!

Just hopped on a plane today, and was sorley disappointed that all of my offline music wasn't available offline. 

Why??

Same, I am getting the same problem from a month or two. I have an ipod touch a 5th gen model. I also uninstalled it and Reinstalled it two or three times but no use.
I got a premium subscription since last year and I never had this problem. Is Annoying as hell.

Same on my iPhone.

 

Spotify is offline and I can't play my saved music, because "I didn't save _actual album_."

Playlists do exist in offline mode and I can play them.

 

But that's not nice on a plane or don't have connection.

I don't know if I can post a link to imgur to explain it better but that's how it looks on my iPod.

This is happening to me too! At first, I thought it was because I had an iPhone 4s & that it was just an old phone screwing up a lot of stuff. But I literally just got an iPhone 6s & it started doing it again. It's like I can't win, haha. I heard that maybe we have to reinstall the app, but no luck. Was kinda hoping that a tech support person would've saw this post & had an answer. But right now I'm just happy to know I'm not the only one suffering through it. 😭

Same issue here. On Blue Tooth in the truck, some downloaded songs do play. Sometimes, two in a row. Then nothing.

So, I pick up the phone - hit the shuffle button - go thru 2-6 songs until I find one that'll play and I have music again. Until it quits again. 

Also - doesn't seem to be "shuffling" too well, as I've heard "I'm Looking Through You" by the Beatles four nights in a row now driving home. 

This is probably some sort of illegal Obama wiretap.
