I spend a bunch of time editing the ID3 tags for my local files. With some files however, Spotify ignores the local file info and grabs info like artist, track name, etc from the streaming service. I don't want this to happen. I want it to just play the local file as I've edited. Anyone know how to disable this behavior?

Hi there @zerodivide85,

thanks for reaching out to the community !

 

There were a few posts regarding your question in the past year or so.

 

I was able to find this one which holds some solutions and replies from users wanting the same thing.

 

Check it out and let me know if that helps 🙂

Hi. Thanks for trying to help. But I already know how to edit the files metadata. The problem is that Spotify ignores it in favor for info from what it thinks is a matching song from the streaming service. I want Spotify to stop doing this. It's really annoying 😒
