Local files song won’t play in playlist or appear in liked songs

I have plenty of songs from local files that work on my iPhone. This one song won’t appear in my liked songs and is greyed on in my playlist i added it too. If I go to the local files playlist it will play and isn’t greyed out. I hooked my phone up to my computer and re-added it and it worked fine for a while. Now it went back to not working. This is the only file doing this and has done this in the years I’ve been using local files. They are all from soundcloud as is this one.

Hi, there @BladeAbyss,

Thanks for the post.

If only one song has this issue, most likely the file's metadata is causing the behavior. You can try editing the metadata of the track or converting it to another audio format using some third-party software.

Please be aware that downloading audio from SoundCloud without the artist's permission is against SoundCloud policies and violates copyright laws.

Cheers.
