Downloading songs from local files onto iphone

Downloading songs from local files onto iphone

Hello, I have a song that does not exist on spotify downloaded on my mac from local files, and would like to download songs on my phone and make them accessible through the spotify app. I have put all of the songs on a playlist and tried to play them on my phone, but I get a prompt saying "Song not downloaded." Upon tapping learn more, I get a series of simple enough steps to follow, except number 3 says "Mark the playlist containing this song for Offline Sync on your computer or on this iPhone." I have looked all over for the offline sync button but can't find it. Any suggestions?

Hey there @ConkCreat!

 

Thanks for reaching out to us about this. We'll be happy to help you out.

 

First, we'll need to know if everything looks okay with your local files on your desktop - are you able to see them and play them as usual?

 

Then you can make sure that you've switched on Enable sync from desktop from the app's settings on your phone and that your firewall doesn't block Spotify.

 

Then we'd recommend logging out from your phone > restarting it > logging back in.

 

We'll be on the lookout for your reply! Let us know if you have any questions.
