It looks like your own files haven't downloaded. The reason some songs aren't greyed out is because they are available on spotify so have been downloaded from there and not from your PC.

 

Instead of swearing in a forum where there is no age restriction, you'll need to do some work to identify why your local files won't download and fix it. Here's a list of things to look at but you should probably start with checking your firewall.

 

  • 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.
