Local Desktop Files not showed on my Android

Hi there!

I'm actually having some problems with sinchronizing my local desktop files on my Android. So, the fact is simple, I just can't see my sincronized local files on the phone, unless I put them on a playlist, or in the "Selected songs" default playlist.

In the menu "Your music" (in the phone) I can choose beetwen the next options on Spotify;

Playlist.
Songs.
Albums.
Artists.

I think there's an option "Sincronized local files" missing there, or something. Because in the previous options, my local files are not being shown, nowhere, unless I put them on a playlist, obviously.

So, is there a way to listen my local files on the phone without puting them on a playlist?

My phone: Samsung GT-N7000

Android version: 2.3.6

Spotify version: The latest, on both desktop and phone.

Thanks a lot!

Mario.

I've already cheked that guide, yes. But it didn't solved my problem at all, my local files are in .mp3 format so they shouldn't have any trouble.

Oh I see. Just re read your post.

I'm afraid the files need to be in a playlist to sync to the phone. Sorry, this is the way it works.

Thanks Daniel, that was the anser I was looking for! I think in a future version would be great to sync the local files on the phone without the need of puting them on a playlist.

Thanks a lot for your time!
