Uses too much cache

The Android player on Pixel 8 Pro uses way too much cache.

The “user data” represents the amount of data I have downloaded (all music). The cache is somehow more than twice that. If I clear it, it’s restored to this value within minutes.

I am a software developer. Please explain like I am five (ELI5) why you are doing this, because I cannot understand it. The cache should be used for buffering data immediately before you play it (say, the next five or ten songs), and I cannot even imagine how cache requires more data than I have downloaded.

Please fix this (and the issue with downloading over mobile data even when set not to), because these are soul-killing failures for a music app.

Ironically, it does work to play downloaded content if I’m disconnected from the internet for a few hours, but it does eventually crap out, and I have no idea why.
