I like to be in control of when data can be used and when it wont be used with an online/offline mode switch? Does anyone know where it's located in the app?
 
In the My Music screen, go into the menu where you can change between Artist/Album/Songs etc and there is a toggle at the bottom to only show music available offline, with this is the app will ignore and not display or attempt to play and music that isn't synced for offline use.

Is that what this is? How do I know it's not playing the song even when it's not offline. I noticed that even offline songs skip in an out when I go in and out of cellular spots. This is one area I think they could improve upon. I don't understand why my playlist going in and out as a pass through cellular spots while riding on the subway. I will test this out tomorrow and report back.

That's a good idea. I just wish there was a toggle in the app for the convenience. It seems like this function could be in the app itself rather than the settings.
