Offline downloads are available on:

• iOS

This is particularly useful in locations where internet connectivity may be unstable.

How to download music for Offline Mode

Follow these steps to download music to your device:

1. Open the Soundsuit app.

2. Open a playlist or a station.

3. Click the Download icon.

 

Downloading a playlist

When downloading a playlist, the entire playlist will be downloaded automatically.

If your device has limited storage, the app will intelligently download the maximum number of tracks possible based on available space.

Downloading a station

Because stations can contain a very large number of tracks, you will be asked to choose a download size.

Typical options include:

• 50 tracks – approx. 2h30 playback (~350 MB)

• 100 tracks – approx. 5h playback (~700 MB)

• 150 tracks – approx. 7h30 playback (~1.1 GB)

• 200 tracks – approx. 10h playback (~1.4 GB)

This ensures long continuous playback without repetition, even when offline.

Automatic updates of downloaded playlists and stations

Downloaded music stays automatically up-to-date.

When your device reconnects to the internet:

• The Soundsuit app automatically checks every 8 hours for updates.

• If changes are detected (such as new tracks, removed tracks, or updated track order), the app will download the updated version automatically.

This ensures your offline content always reflects the latest playlist curation.

How to refresh a downloaded station

If you want to force a station to refresh with new music, simply modify any parameter in the station settings.

For example, you can:

• add a new music genre

• change the audience style (for example from Mainstream to Trendy)

• adjust other station settings

Once the station settings are updated, the Soundsuit app will recognize that the station configuration has changed and will download a new selection of tracks for the offline version.

How to delete downloaded music
