No reception? No problem.
Spotify Offline Backup is a new feature that’ll ensure you have music to play when you don’t have a data connection on your smartphone, computer, or tablet.
The service will work in conjunction with your own offline playlists, using your cache to ensure you’ve got enough to listen to when away from connectivity.
“Offline Backup takes your queued and recently streamed tracks and creates one easy-to-access playlist that is unique to you,” Spotify said. “To do this, we include tracks already stored on your device as part of your regular listening on Spotify (also known as cache).
“If you’re looking for a certain vibe, you can filter and sort songs within the playlist by artist, mood, and even genre—and Offline Backup evolves as you continue to listen, so you’ll always have something new.”
When you’re offline, an Offline Backup option will automatically appear on your Home feed, letting you tap into it.
“Make sure you’ve listened to more than five songs recently and have offline listening enabled,” Spotify also advised. “Find this under Settings and then Data Saving and Offline or Storage. Look for the Offline Listening toggle.”
