Not syncing playlist of mp3 local files downloaded from computer.

[Gobstopper99]

I downloaded a few songs on the internet and added them as local files on my PC. They play on my computer but not on my phone. When I try and make the playlist available offline on my android (S6) it just says preparing to download forever. I want to play my songs! Help me please?

Some ideas for you.

• 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.
