Precache next song(s)
Hello,
I just recently got your app and I'm enjoying it so far. One issue I've run into is that it appears the app doesn't precache the next song in the playlist. For example, on my drive to work I go through an area where I have no cellular service for about five minutes. I can't make phone calls or anything in this neighborhood either. Today, while I was going through this area, the song playing on my shuffled playlist ended, then it was silent. I looked at the app to see it was buffering. It resumed just fine when I left this area.
I just switched over from Google Play Music because they're shutting down soon, and Youtube Music is not that good. I never had this issue on their service, I've been driving the same route to work for years. I know that there is an option to download my songs to listen to them offline, but my playlist is quite huge, and I don't have the storage space on my phone. I would much rather leave 100% on the cloud.
I think that if this feature was brought to the app it would vastly improve the experience. I noticed that there was another post regarding a similar issue from 8 months back, and you responded saying you were looking into it. Do you have a timeframe of when this will be implemented, if at all?
Thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback. We appreciate it.
As you noticed, this feature has been suggested by other users so it's something that we're planning to add to the app in a future update. Unfortunately I don't have a timetable on when this feature will be available as there are several other things that we're currently working on. But I will pass along your support of this feature to the product manager.
