Youtube Music Download Offline
Alysha Perry
Often overlooked as a music service, YouTube offers a great selection of music (videos) in their popular app YouTube Music. YouTube Music Premium members can download music to listen offline and get ad-free videos.
Many music apps require you to subscribe or sign up for a premium version in order to download songs for offline use. With Musify, however, this is completely free. With Musify you can download songs from their catalog after which you can listen to them without an internet connection, for free.
Deezer is a French music platform with over 90 million tracks and other audio content like podcasts and radio shows. Deezer is one of the few music streaming services highly focusing on sound quality and is known for its easy-to-use app.
Pandora is a leading music streaming app in the industry. You can use it to connect with other music fans and create playlists of the broad selection of music on the app. And the good thing is: Pandora allows you to listen to songs and podcasts without having an internet connection.
I think the answer to my question is no, but just in case, I figured I'd ask it here. As a Beats subscriber, in the app, there was a button I could hit to set the app itself into offline mode, without having to put my whole phone into airplane mode. And so I could play my downloaded music and simultaneously send and receive texts, surf the web etc.
I haven't been able to identify an offline button in the apple music app yet. The only way I can figure out to make it play my downloaded music is to put the phone into airplane mode, thereby rendering it useless for anything else. If I don't put it in airplane mode, it will stream the music, even if it's been downloaded to the phone. I saw at least one or two people discussing that happening to them too.
I really, really would like to see that feature here. I listen to a lot of music, and do not want to go over my monthly data limit. But I want to be able to listen to my downloaded music, while also still using my phone to do all the things that I do online. Beats had that simple offline toggle button in their app, and I can't believe it's not in the apple music app. I'm super disappointed by that. Unless someone has found that somewhere, and can enlighten me?
Hope this can help. When you add music from Apple Music, the streaming service, that item(s) remains in the cloud and streams during play. However, you can tap the ellipses (...) next to the item(s) you've added and choose "Make Available Offline". This will place the item(s) on your device. To be sure you can go to My Music (on the bottom of the app) and tap either the Library tab or Playlists tab, and underneath the Recently Added items at the top, tap on the red letters (this may say Artists, All Playlists, or the like) and you'll see a pop up menu appear where you'll find at the very bottom of that list "Show Music Available Offline" and tap the round button which will turn this on and turn green. Now you will only have access to the items stored on your device. You should also see a little phone icon appear on the far left side of a song (it's really tiny) indicating the same when viewing songs. This way you won't be eating into your data and you won't need to put your phone in Airplane Mode. If you make your items available offline while on wifi,of course, that's a bonus. Note that even when streaming, the song is cashed to the device, so in theory, if you play the same song 101 times, only the first play will technically eat up your data. But there's no way to know this for sure, so making the items available offline is the way to go.
Currently trying to figure out how to transfer bought music from Apple Music on iMac into their iPad Mini2 app, looks like that could be a potential solution, but Apple being Apple they put obstacles in the way at every turn.
I am having the exact same issue. When connected to wifi it works perfectly, but on ANY Bluetooth speaker first song in a newly downloaded album will play and then from the second song on it simply stops playing. You press play again and you get about 15 seconds and it stops again. It is ONLy doing it on music i have downloaded in the past week.
The same problem too... I found that the problem is using HLS format. I've created the smart playlist with `Kind` media rules HLS and all song with this format doesn't play offline (just first 15 seconds). Other song with different formats plays fine offline.
Try deleting and redownloading the song. It could be that download is bad. Also whenever your redownload the song make sure you stay online and connected to either cellur data or wifi the entire time your redownloading the song. It could be that you accidently went offline (disconnected from Wi-Fi/cellurar signal) during the download. Also if your having the issuse with a bluetooth speaker from a different device make sure they are on the same wifi/celluar connection. Also check to make sure that all devices are a good charge level. Low charge levels can cause these types of issues.
They advertise that you can download and listen to your music offline provided that you're a paid subscriber. So my question is why cant i listen to my downloaded music offline even my favorite list shows me an error when im in offline mode and I'm a paid subscriber can someone please give me an answer
Because at this point I feel like deezer is a rip off coz you pay every month download your music with your data then still have to use your data to stream music even after it's been downloaded which is not okay its like paying a double subscription or even more
I've recently noticed the same thing. My favourite tracks show as being downloaded but when I try to open the list or play it tells me I'm offline, which I already know because I took it offline. Previously downloaded tracks played fine when offline. Deezer 6.2.32.56 running on Android 11, Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, build RP1A.200720.012
I deleted the app, reinstalled version 6.2.34.56 (which I believe is the last version that allows you to save downloads to external storage), redownloaded all of my music then turned off automatic updates. I've got maybe 60 GB in tracks downloaded and haven't had any issues since.
Hi Deezer.
I have also been having this issue for the past few months. I work in remote locations so having data signal available is just not possible. So HOW do you access your downloaded music if the App needs data to view your download?
Come now, we pay a lot of money for something that we can only use when the infrastructure allows it. Backwards.
Fix it
I just started my youtube music trial and while youtube music has a lot of issues, all of them are very minor annoyances except one, which is when you try to search downloads for a song, but the useless app says "offline go to downloads."
How does a company worth like $150 billion not have a way to search offline music when that's essentially the only reason to actually pay for a music streaming service? If you have internet at all times to stream music you can just use spotify free without ads or search youtube itself for the song and listen to it without paying a penny.
What is the point of youtube music if I can just search the song on youtube while connected to the internet and listen to it for free? No wonder youtube ad-free had to be a forced package deal with youtube music, otherwise no one would be paying for this.
Things have changed a little and this isn't true anymore. MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL is not nil on iOS 11 for songs saved offline via Apple Music but AVPlayer is unable to play them since they are still DRM protected. The same song returns MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL nil on iOS 9.
I have an Auralic Aries bridge, and overall I love the app and the device itself, however when I unplug my external HD to put more music on and plug back in, it scans and picks up the changes, but refuses to play telling me the the library is off line.
Lightning GUI can be cranky if a drive goes offline. A NAS is a better choice than external attached HD... then you can copy music from the NAS USB port and rescan afterwards without the drive going offline. If I didn't re-scan manually it seemed to take 24 hours on the Aries mini before it re-scanned on its own.
