Hello! I'm a Premium user, I use Spotify both on my PC and my phone (HTC Explorer).
My problem is that when I download my playlists, some songs refuse to get downloaded. In one of my playlists I have 31 songs, but not all of them will play.
They all work on the PC so these songs are available (they also work with wifi, but I need them to work in offline mode since I run out of free data traffic and have to pay my phone company extra for that), but for some reason they just refuse to download. I have rebooted my phone, reinstalled Spotify, removed playlists and downloaded the playlists again, added the unplayable songs in new playlists, but it still won't work.
How can I fix this?
These songs won't download and play:
Artist / song
Naglfar / Way of the rope
Naglfar / Harvest
At the gates / Suicide Nation
Dimmu Borgir / Mourning Palace
Deathstars / The last ammunition
Deathstars / In vogue
Thank you! /Sara
Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂
Do you have those tracks stored locally on your PC (will appear in the "Local Files" tab?)

Hi! i have the same issue, the tracks are in the library section on my pc and i added these in a playlist, in offline mode.
On my PC i listening the tracks regularly, but on my Android Phone i've been downloaded the playlist but i can play only one track...why?
Thanks
Dave
Hi Peter! Thanks for your reply! No I don't have any of the songs in my phone library 😞
This may be too simple, but have you tried actually playing the songs while on airplane mode to see if they downloaded? I was having the same problem. I would ask spotify to download the playlists and it would just move the playlist to the downloaded section without adding the green dot that marks it as downloaded. Today I just tried to play the songs anyway on airplane mode and they play. Don't let the lack of green dot fool you, it may be there anyway.
I've several collections that I have attemted to download. They are in the libraray but will not downoad locally. Any suggestions?
