Local Files Not Syncing to my iPhone

connormcintyre — Mon, 30 Apr 2018 02:23:38 GMT

Hey,

So I've been trying to download some tracks from a few games I play off of youtube. I've been using a youtube-to-mp3 converter to download these tracks to my windows computer, and the download is fine. I've done all the settings properly so that I can play the music on spotify on my computer, however when I try and sync the music to my phone, nothing shows up. The images I've attached show what my computer sees and what my phone sees. I've googled everything but nothing is giving me a proper solution so I was wondering if anyone else could help?

And yes, I've specificed the local file, been on the same wifi and redownloaded Spotify. Any other suggestions? I really appreciate the help guys!

Hello, Help arrive!
If you are experiencing:
A. Grey title in Playlist
B. Cannot play mp3/m4a on iPhone

Please make sure the songs import into Spotify:
a. Not protected by DRM
b.In supported format (https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/listen-to-local-files/)

Steps:
1.Make sure your computer and mobile devices (iPhone) in the same WiFi network.
2.Remove the playlist which you find the problem
3.Remove and re-add the "Local Sources" - Make sure all songs synced.
3.1 Reopen Spotify app (MAC) [in case if you added too many songs] [Recommend to do]
4.Make sure all the songs which added can be played in Spotify (Mac)
5.Make whole new playlists (Recommend using different name from preventing sync error)
6.On Mac, check all the songs in playlist whether they can be played or not.
7.Download playlist on your devices(iPhone)

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Music for you:
Check out "Intro: Grand Opening" on Spotify now!

Hey!

I really appreciate the help, but none of the steps worked 😞 I checked to see if the song was DRM protected and compatable with Spotify and they were. I even managed to play it on my computer but the song still won't show up on my phone. Anything else or should I try and contact Spotify?

Thanks again! I really appreciate the help.
