Hey @Calibrations91,
There's no guarantee that all files will work as local files, but we'll make sure to help you out as much as possible.
First, it's a good idea to divide the tracks into different folders and then synchronise them. This is to check if there's only one file which is troublesome. Have a couple of tracks in each folder.
After that, make sure to connect both your devices to the same mobile hotspot.
Let us know how that goes, and send screenshots of any error messages you get.
All the best!
Hey @Calibrations39.
Thanks for getting in touch!
You'll need to hit the 'Download' switch on mobile, while being on the same network. That should move all tracks over. Keep in mind that you need a Premium account to have this feature.
Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.
Spotify supports the following file types:
If you checked these things but it's still not working, let us know if you are using MacOS/Windows and Android/iOS.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a nice day!
Hello, is anyone still helping me with this...it's been almost a week.
Hey there @Calibrations39,
Thanks for getting back in touch and adding those details.
We'd recommend trying a clean reinstall of the app on your mobile device by following the steps here.
Once you've installed the app again, you can follow the steps below:
If that still doesn't do the trick, it'd be helpful to create a new playlist for your local files on the desktop app and try syncing the new playlist on your mobile instead.
Let us know how things go! We'll be right here if you need more help.
Have a lovely day :)
I followed all of your instructions and none of them fixed it. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app, synced up a separate playlist with the songs in it, hit download on my mobile app but nothing is happening.
Hey there @Calibrations39,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop with this!
In this case, we'd suggest first making sure that Spotify is set as an exception on your device's firewall.
If it is and you're still having troubles, could you give it a try to connect both your mobile and desktop devices in a different network connection?
Once both devices are connected to another network, log into the app on each device and try downloading the playlist on your mobile device once more.
If that does the trick, we'd recommend making sure that Bonjour is supported and enabled on the router of the original network you were on.
Keep us posted :)
I don't have a firewall on either of my devices. I tried connecting the devices to different networks and there was no difference in downloading them. Bonjour is an Apple product, I have an Android?
