Local files not updating on Spotify android....

Marlin — Sat, 24 Dec 2016 01:59:09 GMT

I have been through every thread for similar posts with no working solutions aside from quitting Spotify. I am runnign windows 10 desktop version of spotify and spotify on my moto x pure. it used to update any changes i made to my local files on my desktop on my phone. recently my phone is just stuck "waiting to download". I have completely disabled firewalls on my desktop and on router. though this wasn't an issue with the exact same set-up maybe a month ago... i have re-installed spotify numerous times on phone and desktop. darn i love this app but this is a serious deal breaker. I make music and would like to have my locals files available to listen on spotify..

looks like i'll have to switch to google music if i can't fix this soon.

help??

or you're gonna lose another customer. seems many people are pissed about this. come on guys.

Any issues are normally down to communication problems so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download.

Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.
In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.
Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
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.

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.
