My Question or Issue
I just re-installed Windows 10 on my computer and copied all my music files I had on my previous install back onto my computer in the same folder (My Music). I went into the Spotify settings to enable Local Files and this is where two issues happened.
1. Of the two default sources, one is "Downloads" and the other is just blank. I'm assuming it's some kind of glitch and is supposed to be "My Music" or something. The reason I believe it is this is because if I keep the blank option enabled (see picture below) and try to add "My Music" as a source, nothing gets added.
2. However, when I disable the blank option and try to add "My Music", this happens:
What I've tried so far
- Closing Spotify and deleting the `local-files.bnk` file in my AppData, then re-opening Spotify
- Uninstalling Spotify and re-installing it from https://www.spotify.com/us/download/windows/
- Starting Spotify in Administrator mode
- Making a new folder and moving all my music into there, then adding that folder as a source
- Doing the previous step but running Spotify as Administrator again
Not really sure why this is an issue because these are the same exact files I had on Spotify prior to re-installing Windows 10 on my computer. I even have them synced to my phone. Any suggestions for what to do to fix it?
