Syncing Windows 8 phone with Windows 8 desktop local collection

Solved!

Syncing Windows 8 phone with Windows 8 desktop local collection

I am not able to do this. I looked at the FAQ and took all the steps.

 

https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/faq/#!/article/Sync-your-device-with-Spotify

 

I have the latest winPhone version of spotify available at windows store.

I have my Upnp enabled on my router.

 

I have tried everything mentioned here as well:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Android/Spotify-won-t-sync-local-files/td-p/410840

 

But my windows phone won't show up under devices on my spotify desktop. 

 

Any ideas ?

 

Being a premium member, I feel that paying $9.99 a month is not worth it if spotify is broken like this.

Unfortunately not, I don't think the Windows Phone application has the needed functionality to play the content.

As far as I am aware, that is a mistake on the help page (which I do believe I have reported in the past) and local files are not supported using Windows Phone 8.

Well, that's a shame. Any ideas as to when this feature will come to windows phone ?

There are major Windows Phone updates on the horizon, but no mention of local file support specifically:
