Why can't I find my local files even after it is enabled?

I tried to use local files for the first time and so I enabled it and added the sources I wanted, but I couldn't find the Local Files folder. I disabled 'Show Local Files' and enabled it again, but I still didn't see the folder. The files that I wanted to use were also mp3.

I downloaded my mp3 files, put them into the spotify folder, turned on the local files. And either the song wont let me play, or it wont even appearn entirely. I tried on my computer, put them in multiple folders to double check. And they still wont pop up.

I took all the steps that I've seen all over the internet about adding a source folder in Spotify settings on my desktop and putting MP3 files in that folder. But for some reason the file isn't showing. I tried to restart the computer twice, but the last time when the computer came back up and I checked to make sure the source folder was still in the settings, it had disappeared. Is Spotify not syncing correctly? I am connected to the internet.

Bonjour  !

J'ai un fichier de musique en mp3 enregistré par mes soins. Je voudrais le transférer dans ma playlist Spotify.

J'ai bien mis le ficheir dans ma liste de fichiers locaux, je le vois dans ma playlist sur mon téléphone et le PC, mais je n'arrive pas à le lire.

Cela m'indique "vous devez importer votre fichier".

Que dois je faire ?

I recently moved all my local files to my Onedrive and noticed a lot less of those songs playing. I discovered that intially, if I play a local file, itll say that it cant be played and skip it, but if I select it a second time, it works.

How do I fix this?

Make sure your files are in the MP3 format. It's the only way Spotify will recognize them.

I figured out why "after adding a local folder" it doesn't show up in "Spotify Local Music". You can't add a location "other than the entire drive". So if you have a folder entitled Music on a connected drive, you can't select that folder. Select the Drive itself (so it can search the entire drive). I can't figure out why Spotify makes you do it this way..
