Making Online Music Available Offline
In addition to playing the music that you add to your online library,
you can play music stored on your device’s internal storage. Then
you can listen to music when you have no Internet connection. To do
this, make some of your online music available offline.
Tip:
You can also copy music directly from your computer to your
device.
To make your online music available offline on your device:
1.
From within the
Play Music
application, change your library
view to Albums, Artists, or playlists.
2.
Tap
and then select
Keep on device
to make available
offline.
A blue pin
indicates that the item is already available
offline.
Darker pins appear next to the items you can make available
offline. A bar at the bottom of the screen shows how much
space is available on your device for music and other files.
Dim blue pins indicate songs or albums that you copied
directly from a computer to your device.
3.
Tap the dark pin next to each item you want to make available
offline or tap a blue pin to stop making it available offline. You
can switch to other views of your library to make other kinds of
items available offline as well.
