Hi, have you been able to successfully download any songs on these playlists? Or does it get stuck when when you first start to download anything?

I can download any playlist exccept those created with my tracks from local files I have 2 playlists created with local files and I cannot download single track from it says "Waiting to download" and nothings happened. I have tired to reinstal Spotify app clean cache and nothing still cannot download any playlist made from local files.

Ok, have you tried syncing from your computer in the devices section?

"Waiting to download" is a sign that dsektop spotify can't communicate with your android. Does the mobile show under "Devices" on the desktop client?

sadly I'm unable to see any device in my desktop app there 8s just information retarding being able to sync any android or iphone. How to make my devices  to appear There??

Try these steps.

 

  • Temporarily disable all firewalls, antivirus programmes and other security programmes
  • Check that UPnP is enabled on your router
  • Make sure your mobile is connected to the same wireless network as your desktop
  • With spotify running on your mobile, check to see if it now shows under devices

 

If that doesn't help, please shout but I suspect that it's simply some security thing on your desktop which is blocking access from your mobile.
