[Mobile] View & Play local Files on your Device directly in Spotify

So as already implemented on the desktop version, it would be nice to use the spotify app all in one as a media player. for example, Prince's music is not avalible for streaming, having the songs purchased locally on the device and being able to play that content along with my own spotify songs would be nice to have.

Hey folks, good news!

 

If you have tracks saved locally on your mobile device, there's now an option to play these audio files through Spotify on Android. 

 

You can find more info about this here.

 

Due to system restrictions, we don't have a timeline for a release on iOS at this time. We'll update you here if that changes.

 

Cheers ✨

So as of now the only method for getting my own music onto the Spotify mobile app was to sync my local files from my PC to my phone and then download them on my phone.

 

What would be nice is if I could download the music onto my phone and import it straight to Spotify from my phone, or have Spotify detect new files and show them. No nonsense just simple file importing as it works on PC. On PC the Spotify desktop app automatically registers mp3 files from either the downloads folder or a new place where you specify. I want that on mobile.
