My Question or Issue
I downloaded a MP3 file and added it to my laptop's spotify as a local file and it appears there and can play in Spotify on my Windows laptop. Due to the sync, I also see the local file on my android in a playlist however it is greyed out and unable to play. It works on the laptop, but not on the phone. Please advise.
