My Question or Issue

I tried taking songs from a game's OST (.mp3 files) because they aren't in Spotify, however, every time i click to play them it doesn't and the following message appears: "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it". It only happens with songs from this game

Hey there @Bear_With_Me

 

Thanks for reaching out - we’re here to help!
 

It'd be a good idea to change the source location of the local files on your PC. Simply create a new folder in a different directory on your PC and move your local files to this folder. Then just delete the old folder used for the local files. Now you can try importing the files again. 

 

Check out this help page for further tips on how to manage your local files. 

 

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
