Offline mode is very useful for listening to your music on planes or in locations that don't have an Internet connection. It's also a good way to reduce data usage by synchronizing your playlists when you have a Wi-Fi connection and listening to them in offline mode.
Note: The number of tracks you can sync is limited to 3,333 tracks, and you'll also be required to log in to your Spotify account once a month to verify that you're still a premium member.
