Transfer local songs from PC to Android phone

[jojo1232]

Hello,

i want to transfer some songs, spotify doesn`t have in their catalogue to my Android Phone.

I already imported the songs in the Windows app and added them to a playlist. The playlist shows up on my phone but the titles are grey and i can`t download them.

What did i do wrong?

Kind regards jonas

As of the current update of spotify what you are not trying to do is not possible, but will be in a future update. Check this for more details:

That post is about devices showing in the desktop client which feature was removed some time ago. Despite this, it is still perfctly possible to download local files to a mobile device. Any issues are normally down to communication issues so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download.

• 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.
