If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.</LI> <LI>Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.</LI> <LI>If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.</LI> </UL> <P>If you still can't make it work, you can create a mobile hotspot on your mobile and connect your PC to this hotspot via wifi. Syncing the local files should then work.</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 00:42:20 GMT Joe 2016-11-23T00:42:20Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Local-Files-won-t-download-on-Android/m-p/1506170#M70536 <P>The local files used to work, but when I deleted the playlist that used to work and made a new one, the songs won't download on my phone. I'm using the updated version of Spotify (the one that looks like iOS).</P> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 00:40:05 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Local-Files-won-t-download-on-Android/m-p/1506170#M70536 user-removed 2016-11-23T00:40:05Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/Local-Files-won-t-download-on-Android/m-p/1506171#M70537 <P>Any problems are normally down to communication issues so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download.</P> <UL> <LI>Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.</LI> <LI>In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.</LI> <LI>Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.</LI> <LI>Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme.
