Spotify has a pretty easy to use caching feature that downloads all the playlists that you tell it to. That would probably be your best bet.
Yeah, it's silly. It's no different than turning on the mobile hotspot feature of your phone while you are in the car. Hey look, WiFi is now in my car! You are still using the data on your phone!
