Feature Request: Include "Local Files" in Spotify Wrapped Statistics

[kkartalbey]

Hi Spotify Team and Community members,

I have been a long-time Spotify user, and the 'Local Files' feature is a core part of my listening experience. I use it to listen to special tracks, independent recordings, and—most importantly—the early, amateur songs and demos of current artists that are not officially available on the platform.

However, every year when Spotify Wrapped comes out, I notice that all the time spent listening to these local files is completely excluded. Even though these 'amateur-era' tracks from my favorite artists are what I listen to the most, my Wrapped summary makes it look like I haven't listened to them at all. This makes the year-end statistics feel incomplete and unrepresentative of my actual musical journey.

To make our year-end data more inclusive and accurate, I would like to suggest:

Including Local Files in the 'Total Minutes Listened' calculation.

Integrating these plays into the respective artist’s statistics whenever metadata matches.

This would provide a much more honest summary of our listening habits. I would love to know if there are any plans to implement this in the future, and I hope other users who value their local libraries will support this idea.

Thanks!
