Can I use it as an alternative to Google Music? I.e. can I set it to download a playlist to my phone when I come home?

Sorry, I don't quite get it. The web player has support for playlists and dynamic streams, so I guess it depends on whether the app available for your phone uses the correct API. The one I use, for example, maintains a 10gb MRU cache of my stuff (with lookahead) and that works out quite nicely for me. YMMV, but it definitely surpassed google music for me in both usability and quality.
