What is "Offline Playback"?
Downloading music not only enables you to reduce your internet data usage, it also enables you to be able to playback music in environments where no internet connection is available – for example, when your phone has been set to airplane mode, etc.
* Even though it is possible to play music offline without having your device connected to the internet, if the last data transmission by AWA was sent 7 or more days ago, then it will be necessary for the app to re-connect to the internet again before playing.
