I live in the rural midwest with spotty cell service. All of those services support manual offline syncing to store music on your phone. I set Plexamp to stream lossy over cellular, and it doesn't take long to cache an entire playlist when I do have a signal.

So then you're back to the problem where you require more storage than what your phone has.

What problem? 200 tracks times 4mb/track equals 1Gb. If you can't spare a couple gigs of storage, you need to delete some apps off your phone.

The guy said he has 400gb of music, that's what we were talking about

And I said offline syncing a playlist (1-2Gb), not 400Gb. Max 1-2Gb. I have 1.8Tb of music that I can stream in the rural midwest at any given moment providing I have a signal, and about 3Gb synced to my phone when I don't have a signal. Plex is smart enough to buffer the next few song in your playback queue so it will play seamlessly through bad cellular coverage. Spotify and Tidal work the same way. Is selecting a subset of Spotify's catalog annoying?

I've never used those streaming services and that's literally one of the reasons why. You're back to the same problem.

I don’t know what to tell you then. 🤷‍♂️
