Hey there @ovalseven,

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community.

We understand where you're coming from. This is currently an expected behavior since the toggle to show audio files from the device takes into account every audio folder, even if the audio itself is not actually a song. You could try deleting those audios so that they don't show up in your Local Files playlist.

In addition to this, other users also think it would be a good idea to be able to select a specific folder for your Local Files. In this case, you can add your +VOTE and Subscribe to this thread. That way you can stay up-to-date with any relevant news about this.

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here.

Cheers!

No. I won't be deleting my ringtones and notifications. My phone won't function properly if I do that.

Saved memos and voicemails are saved for a reason.

My problem is that in the local files on my phone app, there are 10 songs listed and I have absolutely NO IDEA where they are from.

I did a search of all my local iPhone storage, and they are not there. They are CERTAINLY not in the Spotify folder. I am completely mystified and very frustrated!
