Devices folder

Ianalty — Sun, 10 May 2015 17:53:05 GMT

There is no "Devices folder" on Spotify. I'm using V10.4.90. I have tried attaching a new iPod Touch running the latest software which does not show up in Spotify. The same goes for Android phones. I've tried deleting Spotify and reloading it various times today. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Community! Do you have Spotify open on the iPod when you try it? Are you on the same wifi?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Yes to both. It's really strange, the left hand tool bar doesn't have
Devices shown in it.

I think I'm also experiencing this same problem and I also noticed it for the first time today. If im not mistaken its when you look to the left hand side where the bar is that includes all of your playlists and you expect to see your iphone or ipod show up as a device where you can then configure the playlists for it but you dont see it there right?

The devices section will be coming back in a future update.

In the meantime:
You won't be able to see an indication in the desktop client that the device is paired with the desktop client. But as long as they both are on the same WiFi network you should be able to trigger the local files sync by toggling the offline toggle on the playlist on your device. Just make sure that the local files are in a playlist of their own (not just the built in local files playlist) so that this will work.
