AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

This is my main gripe too, but you can set the playlist to only show and play your downloaded tracks.
What I do occassionally run into is that when I stream one thing on my PC and play a different offline playlist later (without having internet), then when my phone has a connection again, it starts playing whatever my PC was playing. Full offline mode would help here, but the real fix would being able to let my devices independently decide what they're playing rather than all devices being a hivemind once on internet.
I'd also still recommend them though. I have my gripes, but they're pretty minor overall. Being able to buy the music is also amazing.
That doesn't seem to work for me. I've dowloaded my driving playlist, and hit the toggle to only show downloaded tracks, but for some reason the Android app still wants to stream sometimes AND when it does it evidently deletes the downloaded version. I haven't change the playlist in months, and I keep having to hit the download button, because one or more tracks is somehow no longer downloaded.
I have checked both my Qobuz and system-level storage allocation and availability. I'm no where near running out of either.
Yeah, I do wish I could disconnect those. I understand why someone would want a playlist to "follow" them across devices, but I don't, usually. Right now, it's the only way I can get the "DailyQ" to play on my laptop or desktop. But, if I could I'd keep the phone just on the few playlists that I have downloaded on it, and do streaming / exploration / auto-play / weekly shows on my laptop and desktop.
Ah yeah I have that too, but that doesn't seem to be for the same reason as you.
