Soon AI launches playlists Spotify in the US is adding a new way to keep your music going when you lose your internet connection. New Offline Backup feature For iOS and Android, it automatically creates a playlist of queued and recently played tracks ready to listen to on flights or off-grid excursions. Offline Backup is for Premium users only.
The feature complements Spotify’s existing offline mode for user-triggered downloads. In contrast, the Offline Backup playlist does not require manual downloads. So think of it as more preparation with less planning. (And, of course, the default offline mode will still be there.)
Spotify says the playlist will “evolve” by learning your habits as you continue to listen. It will also include tracks already cached on your device from regular use.
Once you go offline, the Offline Backup playlist will automatically appear in your Home feed. Once it’s populated, you can filter and sort the songs within it to more easily understand the artist, genre, or mood you’re feeling. Spotify also lets you add your playlist to your library for easy access.
To start using the feature, you need to enable it manually. You can find it below Data Saving and Offline or Storage In the settings of the Spotify application. To enable Offline Backup, turn on the switch for Offline Listening.
Offline Backup is now available to Spotify Premium subscribers globally. (And you must have listened to five or more songs.) If you don’t see it after turning it on and going offline, the company recommends checking for updates in the Spotify app.
