No "Available offline" button in my screen

Solved!

No "Available offline" button in my screen

Hi,

 

I would like to listen offline, but I cannot find a "Available offline" button in my screen.

 

Any suggestions where to look?

 

I have upgraded my free account to premium a week ago.

 

Thanks,

 

Jurgen

For the iPad, select "Follow" on the playlist screen
Go to "Your Music" and select the desired playlist
You should now see the "available offline" button near the top of the list

Make sure you click on Following the playlist. That should activate the Download button.

Well if Spotify have changed the nomenclature fro Available Offline to Download (which appears inconsistently anyway), then they should update all their advisories to reflect this and stop wasting everyone's time in looking for what doesn't exist!

You may try deleting and downlading the app again.

Did you swipe all the way up?

i have a problem where there is offline button in my playlist i have several but if i go to where all my songs are listed like round 1400 of them there is no offline button so when i play music at a function i cannot access themi can only play my playlist.any ideas.

I have the same problem. I have only just got Premium and I have never seen the Available Offline button, whether I have followed someone else's playlist or accessed one of my own. 

 

Am seriously thinking of quitting Spotify as it is very frustrating to use!

Look for the "Download" button above a list of songs which you have selected. Once you hit the button and the songs have been downloaded the button will change to "Downloaded".

Thanks, but what about the Available Offline button? Pretty much every Spotify guide mentions this but I have never seen it on my iphone. Even when I go into Troubleshooting there is nothing for my issue. 

Once it shows that the list has been "downloaded" it is available off line. Spotify has switched to this nomenclature from the previous "Available offline" designation.

That's great, thanks. It's a shame Spotify haven't updated their help pages, 'available offline' is mentioned on almost every page! It really makes learning how to use Spotify much more difficult than it needs to be.

 

Agreed. Shame theirs no updates spotify, finding it cumbersome to use.

Very clunky.
