Local files not updating on Spotify android....

[Marlin]

I have been through every thread for similar posts with no working solutions aside from quitting Spotify.  I am runnign windows 10 desktop version of spotify and spotify on my moto x pure.  it used to update any changes i made to my local files on my desktop on my phone.  recently my phone is just stuck "waiting to download".  I have completely disabled firewalls on my desktop and on router. though this wasn't an issue with the exact same set-up maybe a month ago...  i have re-installed spotify numerous times on phone and desktop.  darn i love this app but this is a serious deal breaker. I make music and would like to have my locals files available to listen on spotify..

looks like i'll have to switch to google music if i can't fix this soon.

help??

or you're gonna lose another customer. seems many people are pissed about this. come on guys.

Any issues are normally down to communication problems 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.
