[android] play local files on SD card

I know you can sink local files from your PC onto your phone with premium, but is there anyway I can listen to the music I have downloaded onto my SD card? I want to be able to access that through Spotify .

Hey @Ormz, welcome to the Spotify Community!

At the moment, it's not possible to play the music files on your SD card with Spotify. The only way to sync your local files is if you do it from the desktop app. You can find the steps to do it here.

However, we'll make sure to pass your feedback to the right folks.

Have a great day!

This answer is from 2018. Is the answer different today? Is there already such a possibility?

Hey @chagitniss,

Thanks for the post.

It's now possible to play local audio files which are stored on your phone.

Try the following:

Tap Home .
Tap Settings .
Switch Show local audio files on .

Your stored music is now in Local Files in Your Library .

Hope this helps 🙂

Yes, it helps!
Thank you very much, I just had to update the app.
Just a little comment:
The best thing would be - if the local files listed on spotify were also
organized by the local folders order in device/sd storage.
