Does anyone use Google Play on an iPhone? My daughter seems to be hammering through her data allowance even though she has the ‘Downloaded Only’ slider activated. I tried turning her cellular data off and anything in her ‘My Library’ still plays ok but anything in ‘Playlists’ is unavailable, even though it shows as downloaded (the orange circle with a white tick in it).

Does that sound right i.e. if she wants to play anything in a Playlist, she really needs to be on wi-fi? Seems a bit silly if it is supposedly downloaded?

Huh? biggrin

I got a 6 month free trial of Google Play with my Sonos and I have the Google Play Music app on my and my daughter's iPhone. Works great and can download stuff as and when I want. Just can't play music in a Playlist if cellular data is turned off.

Not sure what is going on really - I just disabled wireless and cellular on my phone and the playlist(s) that she can't play are fine for me. Must be a setting somewhere that is different between us.
