Have you ever ever hopped on a aircraft, anticipating to make use of the in-flight Wi-Fi, and discovered that the aircraft you might be on continues to be in 1999 and there’s no Wi-Fi? Even worse, it’s alleged to have it however the pilot proclaims that it’s damaged in your flight.
Whereas that sucks, at the very least you may hearken to some music in your telephone, proper? However — oh, no! You additionally forgot to obtain any of your music! You’re now caught on a flight with no Wi-Fi and no music, a destiny worse than dying.
That’s the place Spotify desires to soar in and save your butt. The corporate is at present testing a brand new playlist that can robotically obtain just lately performed music in order that, if you happen to get caught in a location with none connection, you’ll nonetheless have some music to fall again on.
Daniel Ek, the CEO of Spotify, took to Twitter to share a preview of “Your Offline Combine,” the offline playlist that could possibly be coming quickly to the music streaming service.
Since, by Ek’s personal admission, the playlist is at present being examined, there isn’t any assure that Spotify will really launch it. It’s additionally unknown that, in the event that they do, when it can really present up as an possibility for customers.
Each of these issues apart, I actually hope Spotify makes this one a actuality. Whereas companies like Apple Music and Spotify will robotically obtain some issues, customers principally need to manually elect when they want a music, album, or playlist to be downloaded for offline listening.
A playlist that robotically updates itself with just lately listened to music is a strong concept that, as an Apple Music subscriber, I hope Apple steals instantly.
Whereas Apple Music doesn’t have this function but (and technically, neither does Spotify), Apple did add a ton of recent options with iOS 17.
