Local Files won't play!?!?!

[DylanHo]

Hey, guys, ALL MY LOCAL FILES WON'T PLAY (1,621 songs). How do I fix this?

I have a Mac and a Premium account

Hi @DylanHo! Thanks for writing in the Community.

I have the same problem. I am on a MAC Powerbook. High Sierra, 10.13.3. Spotify 1.0.75.483.g7ff4a0dc, Premium Account.

I can see local files listed, but they won't play. If I add a new location those files do not appear, although I can search for them and find them. But can't play nor add to play list nor queue. I changed the settings and removed itunes and the download folders, but those stayed listed and when I added a new folder those files did not appear, so I am thinking the list does not refresh. When I close Spotify and reopen it that does not help. Have not yet tried restarting computer. Will do that next. It it works, I'll come back and report that. If not, I won't.

Thanks for letting us know. Take your time to try that and let us know if it helps.

If the problem persists, make sure to reinstall Spotify with these steps.

Keep us posted.
