My Question or Issue

I have three local files on Spotify, they are all downloaded on my phone not streamed from a computer, and I like to listen to songs on repeat so I make a playlist with only one of them in it so I can. Two of my local files are still working but one of them is now giving me an error saying the song is not downloaded with a learn more option to click that leads nowhere. The song is still downloaded and I can listen to it in my local files with the rest. I deleted the playlist and made a new one and no change.

Hi, @Mferge,

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Have you tried physically deleting the file from your iPhone's internal storage and downloading it to the dedicated Spotify folder (located in the Files app > On My iPhone) again? This will force a resync which may help here. There's more info on how to upload it on your iPhone in this article, feel free to check it out.

💡 Tip: You don't necessarily have to create a separate playlist to repeat a single song. You can just tap the button again to activate Repeat One, which will play the same song again.

Let us know how it goes 👍.
