Hi, have you been able to successfully download any songs on these playlists? Or does it get stuck when when you first start to download anything?

"Waiting to download" is a sign that dsektop spotify can't communicate with your android. Does the mobile show under "Devices" on the desktop client?

Try these steps.

Temporarily disable all firewalls, antivirus programmes and other security programmes
Check that UPnP is enabled on your router
Make sure your mobile is connected to the same wireless network as your desktop
With spotify running on your mobile, check to see if it now shows under devices

If that doesn't help, please shout but I suspect that it's simply some security thing on your desktop which is blocking access from your mobile.
