Always Offline using app...

I love Spotify but I hate the fact I try to use the app and it says I'm "Offline"... May have to go back to Pandora since it works every time.

Solved!! How do I remove sync'd songs?

Spotify is taking up 2.3gb and on my friends phone it only takes up 1.3gb I'm assuming this is because he doesn't sync songs. How do I unsync songs and free up some memory on my phone?
