Tired of having the music you need every day, but having a flaky internet connection or suddenly realizing you forgot to download your favorite song while flying? is.
Music streaming giant Spotify is testing a new feature that music fans will love: offline playlists that automatically download go-to songs for rainy days.
In a tweet posted on Thursday, company CEO Daniel Ek revealed that the “Your Offline Mix” feature is being tested and will roll out when ready.

It’s unclear when Spotify will officially launch this new feature, but screenshots suggest that the feature will greatly help users when “ambience is high but connectivity is low.”
Offline playback is already a popular feature, but offline mixes promise to be something special. This feature will rate the Spotify tracks you listen to the most and automatically save them to the app. Playlists can store hours of music, making travel even more enjoyable for her over 500 million listeners on the app.
Twitter users welcomed the news with gratitude.

It’s unclear if this feature will be offered to free users, but offline listening isn’t unique to Spotify. Another music streaming service, Youtube Music, has an “official mixtape” feature that allows users to download songs.
