Systems and methods for generating a playlist on a device for a user of a music service are provided. In embodiments, the device can be connected to the music service during an online mode. During operation in the online mode, the device can stream media objects from the music service. While still operating in the online more, the music service can identify additional media objects accessible through the music service to be stored in the playlist at a cache memory of the device. The music service can identify the additional media items by determining that the additional media objects satisfy one or more pre-designated conditions.
