Spotify thinks i have local files i don't have...

Spotify thinks i have local files i don't have...

 

 with spotify on windows, i used to have local files of differents artists and recently i deleted them. The problem is that everytime i want to stream one of these songs, spotify might be trying to find these songs but they aren't here anymore so i can't even listen to them online they are "not available"... I just want spotify to stream all of the songs i want online and stop searching in my local files.

Hey,

 

Let's say you have this problem with the track "Drake - God's Plan", which you've had in your pc but deleted it.

 

1. Go ahead and remove it from your Playlist/Favorite Songs

2. Search on Spotify for the song

3. Save it or add it to your playlist directly from the app

 

Spotify won't automatically replace a local file you've deleted with the specific track.

 

Let me know if this works!
