When I open spotify on my computer, there are many playlists and songs already there. I am trying to get the songs on my iPod, as I am a spotify premium member. It says only local files will sync and I have read all the information that describes why this is. What I want to know is since all my songs "came from my iPhone", what makes some of the files local and not others? Can I make all my files local on my computer so I can get them on my iPod?
