My Question or Issue

This is a brand new issue that I was not experiencing even earlier today. My local file tracks, despite being downloaded on my Mac in both the import folder and the Spotify application, will not play. They appear fine, but when attempting to play them, I recieve an error message: "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it."

 

I know this isn't a syncing problem, because the all the files on my iPhone work just fine. None of them appeared grayed out. I've tried rebooting and disconnecting/reconnecting to the WiFi. Really not sure why this began now, because I just imported a new file this morning and everything was working fine then.

 

Please help!

Strangely enough, everything seems to be working fine now. I guess no harm done but I am curious as to what could've been causing it. Will update this thread if it happens again.
