Hi,
Yup, if you add the music to your play list I think it can.

I’ve never bothered with Apple Music so I’m wondering can it play Music offline 
as Spotify can?

Hi,
I'm happy with Apple Music as well.
Wish many of those services could be better at guessing what you mean when
you type.
Names and titles can be pretty hard to name correctly.

Yes, a lot of truth in that and Youtube have enabled me to track down a 
whole heap of original stuff.


Another "Must Have" particuarly if you're digitising your record 
collection is iTunes match.

I can’t comment on Apple Music since I don’t use it and I’ve seen no rea need 
to use it but what I can say is that I know a friend who has both and he 
reckons Spotify has more tracks.
That in itself is a most interesting statement given my friend is older than I 
am and likes tracks from the 60s, 70s and 80s so does Spotify have more of 
those than does Apple music or what?

If you've not taken a serious look at the Spotify Music platform in a good 
while - and you like your music just the way you want it and not how your local 
radio station wants it - then take a good look at the modern Spotify.

I won't go into all the changes I noticed since I last saw it before today but 
the changes are numerous and these changes have really given me something to 
think about regarding the other Music services I'm subscribed to, it might very 
well be that you'll find that Spotify will provide your each and every need for 
your music listening habits. particularly if you're a Spotify Premium user.

I used the Spotify IOS App to do my exploration, I found accessibility to be 
first class.

Right now I'm listening to the "Soft Rock" playlist on Spotify through a 
Spotify connect device, the Sangean WRF28D portable radio.

Connecting the device wasn't hard to do, I just selected Spotify from the Source list for 
the radio using the Undok App, I then opened the Spotify App from Undok and used the 
Connect icon at the bottom of the screen to locate the radio, the music started playing 
through it when I double-tapped the "Play" icon.

Bit rate you mean? Yep that would be about right possibly more, I don't 
remember what the maximum bit rate for free Spotify users was, never had 
a free spotify account myself but I think the bit rate was 64K and you 
couldn't keep your library offline.

I like my premium quality music particularly when I have good quality sound
equipment to enjoy it through so - to me - its worth the money and that only
equates to 4 cups of coffee per month for both services.

Yes point taken as the Spotify App for Windows - as far as I know - 
isn't accessible.


I don't like having to sit at my computer listening to radio , 
given that I didn't take the accessibility of the Windows nor the Mac 
App into account.


I've not tried the Android App as yet but it would appear that plenty of 
work has gone into the IOS App which I used but even then, using Spotify 
on IOS wasn't really the goal of the exercise for me.


I have quite a few "Spotify Connect" devices and it was those I wanted 
to get going, one can control Spotify from such devices which include 
many of the Sangean Internet radios available today, Sonos as you've 
mentioned, Bose Soundtouch series and so on.


Many of the AVR Receivers available now also have Spotify Connect built-in.
