Samsung Galaxy SIII 4.1.2

Spotify 0.5.12.52

Had over 20gb of music synced offline. Frequently turn my phone off when storing it in a locker etc. and never had a problem.

Today, I turn my phone back on and access Spotify to be presented with the 'log in' page. Strange, proceed to log in, playlists take a while to appear, seems none are synced offline.

Check SD card storage, 2gb/32gb used - other files (photos, podcasts, short videos) still present on card, only Spotify music has gone.

Check Spotify settings - 'Extreme' streaming and syncing has reverted back to 'Normal'. Oddly, 'Offline' mode is still enabled, and my EQ settings have been saved.

I place my head into my hands, disparing at yet another Spotify mishap. "It's not the end of the world" I tell myself, "Sure it's a pain to REDOWNLOAD 20gb of music, especially as I've done nothing to delete this music myself. But I'll just leave it overnight".

I proceed to wonder "Hey, what if I'd synced all that music with the intention of going on holiday with no wifi/data?". I ponder further...

"Well then, in that case Spotify would be about as much use as a rooster flavoured lolliop".

I laugh to myself, entertained despite my drive home now having no music to entertain me.
