My Question or Issue
Local Files were uploaded on PC to Spotify. Songs were added to a playlist and saved/hearted. Both PC and Mobile are connected to same internet. Local Files apear on mobile spotify playlist and play. Once Wi-Fi connection is lost, local files are not playable. What is the point of doing all of that if you can't listen to those songs on mobile even after they are saved? Why have local songs only play in wifi connection, might as well listen through PC instead of mobile, its a useless feature.

Thank you for confirming that.
I'm afraid, you need to use the same WiFi network on your mobile as on your desktop app, in order to play local files.
In order to play local files on mobile, you need to download them first.
