Offline Playlists on Android

Offline Playlists on Android

I have a play list that I complied on Spotify OS X, which contained a mixture of songs from the Spotify catalouge and local files.Everything is cool on the Mac, but when I play the playlist on my Android phone, the local files won't play (and are greyed out).

 

So, how do I make local files from my iMac playable on an Android phone?

Please read the support topic here for assistance setting up local file sync: Listen to local files

Make sure that you are on the same WiFi network and Windows & third party firewalls are configured to allow the Spotify connection through.

Another point to note is that sometimes if a track is stored locally & is also available to stream then when you sync to your device it will automatically use the Spotify streaming version but the data from your playlist. If for some reason the metadata such as track length differs this can cause conflict and break the track. In this instance you are best off removing the local file from your playlist on the desktop and adding the track from the Spotify server then re-sync. This should fix this issue.
