Press the Offline switch right below the playlist or album name.

When you’re browsing music, click on any album or playlist.Indie favorite Tidal also lets you download music for offline listening in a way that’s very similar to Spotify. Bonus: If you want to automatically download all the music you add to your Library to your phone, you can go to Settings > Music, scroll down to Downloads, and choose Automatic Downloads.To see the music you’ve downloaded and listen to it later, go to Library > Downloaded Music.(If you don’t see the icon, you may need to add the music to your Library first.)


(That should be enough, no?) By default, it only allows you to download when you’re on WiFi, but you can change that if you want to download via your network, by going to Settings > Download Using Cellular.

Spotify lets you save up to 3,333 songs for offline listening. Thankfully, all of the popular apps offer offline playlists, you just have to know how to use them and do a little prep work ahead of time, so when you do find yourself in one of those situations, you’ve got plenty of tunes ready to go. Suddenly, you’re faced with search that won’t load and songs that pause every three seconds. Namely, there’s a seemingly infinite library of songs at your fingertips at all times and it doesn’t take up any storage space (you need that for all of your apps!) at all.īut there’s a caveat: When you’re offline-like riding the subway, on a plane, or in a remote area with spotty service- your infinite library goes POOF. There are so many benefits to using streaming music apps rather than downloading music onto your phone.
