Spotify now automatically creates an offline playlist when you lose internet
Don’t lose your music when you lose your connection.
Spotify’s Offline Backup is an alternative for those times when an internet connection disappears unexpectedly or when you intentionally turn it off, like when activating airplane mode during a flight. The auto-generated playlist can be filtered and sorted by artist, mood, and genre, and Spotify says it will change and adapt to each listener’s preferences as they use it, so it won’t always offer the same tracks. The feature was first teased by Spotify CEO Daniel Ek last year when it was instead called “Your Offline Mix.” It’s similar to features already offered by other streaming apps and services like YouTube Music’s Offline Mixtape or Netflix, which can be set to automatically download shows and movies based on what you’ve previously watched.
