Woops, pretty long title!
Anyway, It's exactly as the title say's, I've got two playlists that have mostly (and one even only) local files in them.
I've made sure that the mp3 files of the songs all got a cover art. This does not change any thing tough. Still this lonly music note
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Ruben
Also secretly this problem is not just the desktop app but spotify wide!
And also, even more secretly, the web player shows some songs that are both local and on spotify unplayable even though they shouldn't

Hey @RME and welcome to the community!
Spotiy is aware of this bug and is currently investigating into it (see here). Please be a little more patient and sorry for any inconveniences.
EDIT: Sorry, just read by now that you're talking about the desktop app.. #shameonme. I think cover images of local files won't be synced so there are no covers to display.
Playlist covers are made up of the first 4 tracks in a playlist. The playist cover does not support album art from local files. I'm guessing the first 4 songs in your playlist are local files. That's probably why.
Spotify support the display of album art from local files, but not when it comes to the playlist cover.
What do you mean with

Because here is an example of me playing a local file:
As you can see, it is a local file. And the cover image is loaded in perfectly!
