      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey there &lt;a href="https://community.spotify.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/6747069"&gt;@PatsCats91&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;You first need to activate and set a location for local files from the app Settings:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;OL&gt;
 &lt;LI&gt;Click&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Settings&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
 &lt;LI&gt;Scroll to&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Local Files&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;and switch&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Show Local Files&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;on.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
 &lt;LI&gt;Switch off any sources you don't want.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
 &lt;LI&gt;Click&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;ADD A SOURCE&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;to select another folder.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Music from that folder is now in&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Local Files&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the menu on the left.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:"&gt;🙂&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
