Wrong song mobile vs desktop

Wrong song mobile vs desktop

Howdy,

 

Not sure where to report this but on the following album:

 

https://play.spotify.com/user/byron.smith/playlist/1CCaKdCvdX9mwhciXwrMyp

 

The song by Ed Sheeran on my Android is definitely not Ed, it's a cover by some who sounds nothing like Ed. On the desktop player however, the expected song plays.

 

Cheers,

Having a look, it appears that the track in that album by Ed is not currently available on Spotify so the client has most likely re-linked it to the closest match in the catalogue for you automatically. Unfortunately every now and again you do get weird substitutions like this!

I'm having a similar problem.  I have a song on my Local Files - piano music by my neighbor.  When I sync with my IPad, it substitutes a song with a similar name, but is not the song I want.  I know it's substituting, as your answer indicates.  How do I get the song I want on my Ipad?  Thanks.

 

Try renaming it to something spotify won't match then resync it.
