My Question or Issue

I used to be able to sync local files from my desktop to Iphone without any problem but now its literally impossible. I even get a pop up saying if you own the song click here to learn more but it does not take me anywhere. A great feature but now impossible to use?

Hey @Jonathan9988, thanks for asking in the Community! 🎵

 

The local files feature has been updated. The new method requires you to enable the local files option in your app settings on each device, and the files must be present on the device where you want to enable this. The files may not automatically sync like they used to.

 

For more info about how to use this feature, please check out: Local Files

 

Let me know if you need help with anything else. 🙂
