Put all songs in a playlist and then download that playlist?
But I need all my playlists, not just all my songs in one big useless playlist. I have around 50 of them.
You can download all your playlists.
Hmm, okay maybe I will experiment with it. It seems I read somewhere that there was an issue with doing this. Have you tried it? Then whenever I add new music I'd have to remember to add it to this playlist. Other playlists would automatically use the local copy?
I have Plexamp on my phone configured to automatically download the "loved" album (songs I've rated 4 or 5 stars). It automatically downloads songs I add to the playlist. My library is too big to download it all to my phone (most songs are in FLAC format) so I'd need to download a curated list anyways.
This seems to work well. I've used it a few times on flights or when I'm in a hotel room with spotty phone coverage and no wifi.
If you play the same songs on other playlists does it use the local copy?
Yeah it'll use the local copy if it exists.
