Certain local files are greyed out on the iPhone even though they're linked on the PC

I'm having a problem with playing some songs on my iPhone.

 

There are some songs stored as local files on my PC that cannot be streamed on my iPhone, even though they are linked on the PC to songs in Spotify's library.  On the iPhone they are greyed out.

 

How can I fix this?

 

I just upgraded to Spotify Premium.

Here's some updated info.

 

One of the songs that is affected is on an album called ...Hits, but on the iPhone it is displayed as Hits, so it coul be a bug in the iPhone app.

 

EDIT: However, another track has its name listed correctly but still has this problem.

Hey 🙂

 

You will need to sync those local files to your iPhone manually. Spotify does not sync local tracks on playlists to your mobile devices.

OK. So how do I sync just those files rather than the entire playlist?
