Spotify playing music it shouldn't have!

Solved!

Spotify playing music it shouldn't have!

I'm an musician and I have a lot of new music I have been working on! These songs have only been emailed to the collaborators of these projects and we know none of our team has been using spotify or sharing songs with anyone else. 

 

Is it possible for spotify to share tracks from a computer without knowing (via email, iTunes, etc.)?

 

If anyone can explain this it would be real helpful!

 

OR

 

How can you find who originally uploaded certain songs onto spotify?

Phazzeone - Your Spotify will not have uploaded any of your music onto the Spotify service. It can't.

As Spotify also acts as a media player, like iTunes, it's likely that your local mp3 files are appearing in the software. Do these tracks appear in your 'Local Files' folder at all?
