Check any firewalls (including windows) is not set to block Spotify.

Also check UPnP is enabled on your router and that in Windows network sharing is open to other devices.

Local Files Will Not Sync in Offline Playlists

msteppe — Thu, 24 Sep 2015 02:20:21 GMT

I am running Android Lollipop 5.1.1 on a Galaxy S6. Spotify is up to date. I have plenty of room on my phone. The local files are MP3 files created in a playlist on the desktop app. I connect to the same WiFi )on my phone) as my laptop which is running Spotify.

I get to see the playlist on my phone but only some of the local files are downloaded. Some are not. I've tried reinstalling spotify on both my phone and laptop, I have toggled the playlist from offline mode to not offline and back and I still get the same behaviour every time. I have a Premium account and would expect something as simple as allowing Spotify to load local MP3s into my phone to be simple but it is not 😕

Any ideas???

Hey everyone,

Welcome to the Community.

Sorry to hear you're having issues with your local files in the mobile.

Check if your firewalls have Spotify set as an exception and then try the following for us:

1. Reinstall the app.
2. Sync the local files following these steps.

If that doesn't work, it would be good to understand what exactly is going wrong and the following information:

1. Device & operating system
2. Spotify app version
3. How much free space available?

4. Do you have an SD card? If so, how much Free space is available?
5. What format do the local files have?
6. Is your account Free or Premium?
7. Are you getting any error message?

We'll take a closer look.
