   • Use the search bar to find the song or playlist you want to download.

   • To download a single song, click on the song to open it, and you should see a download icon (usually a downward-facing arrow) next to the song title. Click on the download icon, and the song will be downloaded to your device for offline listening.
   • To download a playlist or album, open the playlist or album, and you’ll find a download switch at the top. Turn it on, and the entire playlist or album will be downloaded to your device.
6. Access Your Downloads:
