Hi there! 

Do you want to import a local file to spotify or do you want to solve the problem with the song error?

J'ai le même problème : depuis aujourd'hu_i je n'arrive plus à lire de nouveaux titres sur mon PC. J'ai toujours le même message : cette chanson n'es ptas disponible. Si vous possédez le fichier... Alors qu'hier tout fonctionnait bien. Par contrre ces titres sont bien disponibles sur mon iphone. Je n'y comprends rien. Besoin d'aide, merci !!

Have you also tried these steps below:

• Shutdown your PC and then restart it in Safe Mode (hit the F8 key repeatedly during the boot up process then select Safe Mode from the menu that appears)
• Once launched in Safe Mode, go to Control Panel, then Programs and Features
• Find Spotify and uninstall it
• Shutdown your PC and boot it back up as usual
• Go to the Spotify website, download the installer and reinstall.

I did this too and now I can´t play my songs (downloaded) too. The problem is still the same. 😞
