I was travelling do I downloaded my fav music. Wanted to play it, but the app said "connect to the internet and try again error 3". What the point of the downloaded music if I cannot play it when I am offline?

Original Title: Offline music needs the internet access.
Hi! Sorry for my late reply. I was away. Well, actually I was online and I was listening to Apple music (not downloaded songs) then there was no network coverage so I had to go to downloaded music and that was it, downloaded music appeared to be inaccessible.
Don’t worry; thanks for the additional information.
So, as already pointed out, Error 3 suggests a so-called “payment validation error”, further, that Apple Music was unable to verify that your Apple Music subscription is active, which, if offline, goes without saying.
This issue was reported to potentially get resolved by signing out of Apple Music, then signing in again, re-downloading the tracks (which does not really occur to me), or trying to save them (if present) on an SD-Card / on-device, whatever is not the case at the moment.
I can otherwise reassure you that this behavior is not intended and theoretically not supposed to be a flaw when using Apple Music, and that an Apple representative could assist you if in question.
Feel free to reach out with any new information or questions which may arise, we are happy to assist.
I may wish you good luck in the meantime.
What device are you using Apple Music on?
It's OnePlus 11.
So, if I may ask, when have you been online, having the Apple Music App open?
for your information, error code 3 suggests a payment validation issue.
What I meant is: online the last time, with the app open? Sorry for the inaccuracy.
Unable to play downloaded music offline on Apple Music using my OnePlus phone
