Can't sync music even when on wifi

Can't sync music even when on wifi

For some reason a couple of days ago spotify won't let me sync tracks and/or playlists even when I'm connected to my wifi. I don't have local files because the only music I listen to is music that I get off of Spotify. Sometimes when I try to sync the music so I can listen to it offline a bunch of orange exclamation points show up. Other times the songs are just gray and it doesn't even try to sync the music. I'm prolly just missing something or being just plain dumb about this but any help on this would be appreciated.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

Are you sure there is enough storage space left on your device to download and sync those tracks?

Yea I have 4+ GBs and its just a couple of playlists of 20 some songs. It's just weird cos it just started happening. It either greys out or shows those exclamation points when I try to create a new offline playlist or try to turn an existing playlist into one that can play offline.

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling spotify?

I can't download my music from spotify. Whenever I click edit from playlist it just give me the option to delete the playlist and nothing else. It doesn't have the download button. Please help!

Do you not have an "Available Offline" slider at the top of the playlist when you open it?

What device are you using? 

There are steps to follow on this help page too, do they help? 

 

Also, do you have Spotify Premium?

I'm using a iPhone 4S and iPod gen 5.
I checked the steps many times already but it didn't help.
I search spotify premium on iTunes apps store it show spotifynder is the premium. Which I don't think is the premium because the name are completely different but I brought the apps anyway because I fell in love with spotify during my free trial

Also how can I listen to music that I add to my playlist only? Because every time I want to play my playlist it kept saying "only premium user can stream on demand" and it only let me listen to music base on one of the song I selected on my playlist

Ah that is the issue, spotifynder is not the Spotify application, its made by another company. 

 

The Spotify app you need is this one:

https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/spotify/id324684580?mt=8

 

Once you have installed it, you should be able to follow the instructions above.
