My Question or Issue

Why can I add local files to my favorites only from the mobile application? Why can't I do it from the desktop application?

Hey there @Rostov,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community.

Can you let us know exactly what you mean by adding Local files to your favorites?

If you're having trouble importing your Local files to the desktop app, take a look at this Spotify Answer where you can find how to do it. We also recommend checking out this article about how Local files work.

We'll be on the lookout in case you have any questions.

Cheers!

@CarlosE, in the desktop application, next to songs directly from Spotify, there is a heart that allows you to add songs to your favorites. There is no such heart when playing local files. It is possible to like local files only from the mobile application. Why is this not possible in the desktop application? That would be a really useful feature.
