How do I find offline music?

I know how to mark a song (or even a playlist) to 'make available offline'. But once I'm offline (say, in a spotty coverage area, for example), how do I find just the offline tracks/lists? In Spotify, you just turn on 'offline mode'. Can't seem to figure this out in Apple Music. Surely I don't have to tap-tap-tap through lists/albums/songs until I randomly stumble across ones I've marked for offline listening?

If you want to see specifically which tracks are stored on your phone and which are not, go to my music then hit 'artists' or 'albums' on the top half of your screen. You should get a menu pop up and from there you can toggle 'Show music available offline'. When this is enabled, the app will show ONLY music that is stored locally on your iPhone.

And be sure your device has room. They take little room but if you have a gigantic playlist (you will need to do it by adding to playlist or album by album or track as daid above) it will take a bit to download them. If you are in My Music you will normally see at the top at what number of track downloading is at this point and see the number whittled down as they are downloaded,
