The Chronic

[Tika1000]

I have bought DR. Dre's album the chronic on cd, downloaded it to My computer and then added it to my playlist on Spotify. I can play The songs from My computer but not from My Phone, why is that? It is the same account ..

Did you follow all the steps here, including downloading the playlist to your mobile?

Yes

So they don't download to your phone I guess (I have to guess as you're giving nothing away). Chances are that a firewall on your PC is blocking things but here's a full list of things you can check.

• Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC.
• In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled.
• Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.
• Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
• Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
• If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.

If you still can't make it work, you can create a mobile hotspot on your mobile and connect your PC to this hotspot via wifi. Syncing the local files should then work.
