been downloading my 6music bbc playlister to deezer to play offline (300ish songs). all worked ok, but as im adding songs quite regularly, it syncs and will be using up more and more space. id like to see what its actually used so far, but cant work out where its located on my htc.

i go to settings/storage and under phone storage, im not far off my limit. under 'music' theres barely anything tho so they wont be there. 'other' has 6Gb so thats possible.

sd storage has a few more Gb free so id prefer it to be stored there if possible.
'music' only has 64Mb tho so its almost certainly going to be in 'other' on either the phone or sd card.

google suggests its in data/data/deezerapp but my file manager doesnt show that to be there.

ideally id buy a bigger sd card and keep downloading more offline albums on there, but if it all goes to phone storage ill be stuffed.

any advice?

I use Spotify but I think they've both got the same process. The tunes ARE "on" your device, but you can only access them through your supplier App. That's how they manage to charge you a monthly fee for access...

yep, id expect them both to use the same principle, and yep, i understand they probably wont be mp3's that i can drag and drop somewhere safe, so theyll most likely be some strange file types somewhere. spose im asking really, just where all the data is, phone/sd/music/other?
not so i can get at it, but just keep an eye on how many mb/Gb deezer/spotify is using so far for my downloaded music. so if i get close to max, i can delete some and d/load others.

thanks

If you go in to the settings does it not tell you in there?

On iOS if you hit my music > settings > app it tells you
