Is it Possible To Listen A Song That Spotify Don't Have In Android?

I did have a song that I added to my library via using local file. But it doesn't download in my Android device. They're on same wi-fi. It says waiting to download but It doesn't. When O try to play it says "This song is not available"

 

I can listen on my desktop with no issues.

Any issues are normally down to communication so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download.

  • Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.
  • In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
  • Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.
  • Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
  • Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
  • If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.

If you still can't make it work, you can create a mobile hotspot on your mobile and connect your PC to this hotspot via wifi. Syncing the local files should then work.
