SOLVED!! I PROMISE!! HOW TO PLAY LOCAL FILES ON IPHONE

[rpryor93]

So, I have finally figured out how to play local files on your iPhone. Follow these steps: 

1. Disable firewall on your laptop or desktop. Specifically for Spotify. 

2. Connect your iPhone to your laptop or desktop. 

3. Connect your laptop or desktop to your iPhone's personal hospot. No wifi, just your iPhone's personal hotspot. 

4. Go on the spotify app on your iPhone

5. Go to Your Libary 

6. Click the settings button at the upper right hand corner (looks like a wheel)

7. Click Music Quality 

8. Scroll down and make sure "Download Using Celluar" is on green.

This should work! If not, make sure that the download button is green on your desktop spotify playlist, and its available offline.

So this worked, I thank you so much for that. But I don't have unlimited data and I have a lot of local music. Does this mean I have to use all my data to download all this music?

I don't think it will use ALL your data, depending on how many songs you're trying to download. If it's A LOT of songs, I would just upgrade your data plan momentarily until you've downloaded all the songs you wanted, then downgrade back to your original data plan.
