Thats alright. Yes, I do mean that the files are on the computer and I want to listen to them on my phone through spotify. They are ligitimate songs from people. Would there be a way to import those files from computer to phone directly, then be able to listen to the songs on spotify? Also, these songs are in mp3 format if that means anything to help towards the solution.
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.
I also gave instructions to another user yesterday regarding local files stored on their phone and playing them through Spotify, thread here. Do be aware that Spotify for Android will not play local mp3's stored on your device; only files streamed or synced from the Desktop app. If you have mp3's then you need these to sync from your PC using the Desktop application.
