How long will downloaded DRM-protected tracks play after all data turned off?

[N123]

I want to play xbox music downloaded xbox music subscription tracks (not purchased) on my new lumia 520 in my car without connecting to any data for days/weeks at a time . . . How long will downloaded xbox music DRM-protected tracks play on **Windows Phone 8** after all data connections are turned off (no Wi-Fi, no cellular data)?--days, weeks?

Also, once the tracks stop playing due to the licenses needing to be refreshed, what is the best way to refresh the licenses on a lot of music--thus far, I've noticed I need to actually play a couple tracks from each downloaded album on wifi to refresh the licenses for the whole album . . this is quite inconvenient . . .

Thanks,
N123

Thanks Jonathan.
What is the best way to refresh the tracks once DRM expires: "Also, once the tracks stop playing due to the licenses needing to be refreshed, what is the best way to refresh the licenses on a lot of music--thus far, I've noticed I need to actually play a couple tracks from each downloaded album on wifi to refresh the licenses for the whole album . . this is quite inconvenient . . .

Can't help you with that.. I don't have any experience with letting DRM tracks expire. Maybe try sending a tweet to @Thurrott. He has "written the book" on Xbox Music. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/windows-81-book-music-03?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
