Play local mp3 on desktop computer in Spotify Free on Android device

[A___R]

Hi Richard, sorry for the delay, I've not received the email notification. Therefore, I add my music to local files section in Spotify desktop, after I choose to synchronize(only local files manually) and I receive together on the smartphone this message(in italian 😄 ) that says I have to upgrade to Premium  😞

I'm pinging @Richard to make sure he sees this.

[A___R]

Aah ok! I've sent a private message to @Richard, it seems he doesn't want to help us anymore  ;D

Just to let you know, my understanding is that you can synch local files to android on free spotify but the same restrictions apply when you play them as with playing spotify music - you can only play on shuffle, six skips an hour limit, ads etc. I really want to know the answer to this too 🙂

Oh no my friend! I just can't sync my local files; it appears the message at the same time I'm doing the action of synchronization!

[Joe]

I know - that's why we need @Richard 🙂

[A___R]

Oh yea! However, when I follow the official Spotify guide to sync on Android(who says you have to create a playlist with local files) I get this message on Spotify desktop

[Richard]

Hey there!

What's the name of the playlist you're trying to sync? I'll just check everything's ok on your account.

Hey Richard! We missed you!  :))

The name of my playlist is: YATB-L

Hey Richard, I'm now able to download my playlist but I can play music only in shuffle mode!
