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. The device can also operate in an offline mode, where the device is not connected to the music service. During operation in the offline mode, the device cannot stream media objects from the music service, but can playback the additional media objects stored in the playlist.
