Android change the song when sync local files from Computer

Hi,

I follow the instructions to create and sync local files. I create a playlist, add the files and select "offline". When the playlist sync to my Android (moto x) spotify messes up the song, downloading other song from the artist.

HI,

When Spotify syncs the offline tracks it will search it's own library for a match and will prefer that over your local file. I suspect it's found a match based on the metadata of your local file and is pulling a different live track which is on the Spotify server. My guess is the metadata track name is something like: "Walkng In My Shoes - Live". And so it's found a match.

If you right click on the track in windows and select properties you may be able to change the properties of the file to give it a new name such as "Walking In My Shoes - Live from Berlin" which should hopefully make it different enough to prefer your track.
