Hey @mako24.

 

Thanks for getting in touch!

 

Spotify supports the following file types: 

  • .mp3
  • .m4p (unless it contains video)
  • .mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

Some of your tracks may be protected in restricted formats. You can install QuickTime on your desktop to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify. The iTunes lossless format (M4A) is not supported.

 

Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.

 

Keep in mind that the local files need to be present on your local hard drive.

 

Let us know if it's still not working, or if you have further questions.

 

Have a nice day.

it's an mp3 file..... issue still persist, any help?
