If music be the food of love........

[Straightman21]

I have a very extensive selection of music on phones etc courtesy of Spotify that is great on the boat - unless I go out of range and then it requires an internet connection before it will play again. Very frustrating.
Any suggestions for sources of music that can be stored on phone / tablet and played offline would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

You can download Spotify music while you have a connection, to play later.

As Playlist(s) and not the actual album(s)

If you go to an album and press the downward arrow it will download that album into your library. You don't need a playlist.

That may not be so with the free version, but it certainly is with a paid account.

I have several playlists downloaded on Spotify for this v reason.I simply go into settings and scroll down to "playback mode' and click "offline " and you can play any/all downloaded playlists or albums.You do of course have to remember to do that in reverse when back in range to play anything else!

This is always the case with cloud based services. If you like the music buy it and download it. That way the artist gets a proper reward for their service and you get to listen wherever and whenever you like.

I'm still using my Ipod. (for you youngsters that's a small thing called an MP3 player that Apple produced and it held lots of music). Funnily enough I'll be installing a new (old) Fusion stereo with an Ipod input into the current project shortly.
By the way, durin' the war . . . . .

Most of my music was "borrowed " via bitterest or pirate bay, if you 70/80's aussie rock I can help.

Years ago a girlfriend - well, to be accurate, her husband - had a really smart MGB GT with a record player in it. While it worked surprisingly well, as it only played 45s you needed to replay or change the record every three minutes l.

Thanks to everyone who responded, I'm now sorted and will be singing along offshore and scaring the dolphins to my heart's content - poor things.
