As long as you download the songs, you can play them offline. It’s a lie to say that membership is the only thing that matters. It’s just to get you to open a Kugou membership. It’s just that members can download songs that require VIP access. If you are not a member, you can only listen to VIP songs online, and even some songs cannot be listened to online. But this doesn't matter. After all, listening to music is just a recreational activity, and there is no need to spend money on it. Because some songs can only be purchased in albums now, members are not omnipotent. Regarding the question of whether downloaded songs can be played offline or only for members, it is very simple. When you are not a member, you only need to turn off the wireless network and data and give it a try and you will know the result.
