(Android) It also gets easily confused with Wifi and whether or not I'm online (because I'm in a room with bad wifi reception). It sometimes blocks on playing downloaded content when there is no internet (when listening in bed and internet is turned off). This has not changed in the last ten years. Not sure why they have thousands of programmers, and tribes and squads and who knows what else.

It's barely usable for radio plays (favorites, queue, last played, ...) as it does act on songs not albums in general.

bad network issue is really annoying tbh, it will not play even downloaded playlist, we have to specifically go in setting and enable offline mode, but then it won't change back to online once we are connected to good network.
offline content not playing smoothly with a spotty connection is something i noticed in the last years as well; driving me nuts
Yes absolutely. This is why I moved away. I live in London and take the tube semi regularly so offline content is non negotiable.

I migrated to Deezer then started downloading flacs from Deezer and serving them with Plexamp.
