Making it into someone’s offline mode is the pinnacle of current music consumption.
If I have your song or record set to offline mode, a few things are true…
-I want you even when I don’t have data…which isn’t often, but just in case. I want to be able to listen to you no matter what.
-I allow you to take up space on my already taxed iPhone hard drive
-Airplane mode will not stop me from having you
-Because you’re in this exclusive club, I therefore think of you more often
And another thing, once you make it into my offline mode list, it’s very difficult for me to remove you. I feel a loyalty to your inclusion in my own club.
My offline mode list is either a thing that you are on or you are not. There’s no gray area. There’s no kind-of-offline-mode (at least not that I can think of).
Offline mode is a special place. With limited space.
Apple Music is the giant book of CD’s you’d make the person riding in the passenger seat thumb through.
Offline mode is that CD holder attached to your visor.
