Playlists Sync Pending!?

I'm a premium user and trying to sync my playlists.  My playlists continually say pending...anyone know what's going on?

I get this same issue on and off. Right now I am syncing local music and it still is saying "Pending". There shouldn't be any sort of delay or issue with that since the music is already on my computer. 

 

Also why am I posting to a community for a product I am paying for. 

How long will it take for my list to be completely sync if it says that its pending? for now it have synced 18 songs of 102 😕

It usually happens to me when I run out of space on my phone while synching music.  

 

What seems to cure it for me, is first, free up space, second kill the Spotify app completely, reboot phone, relaunch spotify then the synching takes back off for me.

 

Slight pain, but at least I can work around it.

 

the problem i have when it says "pending" on the playlists is due to the fact that either a track has become unavailable or that you are trying to sync a local file that the path has been lost. thing to do is exit spotify on your desktop then load it back up again. (if you search and download playlists on your phone rather than the desktop app this will ensure that both are sync'd properly) next when your in devices go to the playlist that is "pending" and look for any grayed out songs these are the files thats causeing the problem. u will have to delete these. if its local files it will have a music note in a white box you will have to make sure that spotify still has access to these files. if it doesnt have the small music note then it means the song has become unavailable to you. when you delete these gray tracks you will notice that the "pending" has gone and it now has a green band round the top left hand side of the playlist :). sorry this has been so long. just wanted to make sure i covered eveything 🙂
