My Question or Issue

I made a playlist from my local files on my pc and I clicked download on both the pc and my phone and none of the songs showed up. Both device were on the same account I can see the gray download arrow on my phone but no songs will appear. I have tried long both account out and back in multiple times, I have uninstalled both apps and reinstalled still nothing. I tried uninstalling the playlist on my pc and now the Waiting... is next to the download switch. Please help.

Hey! Sorry to hear you're having issues! Have you taken a look at this guide yet and tried some of the other troubleshooting options listed? That might be a good place to start!

 

These are the types of file types currently supported by Spotify:

  • .mp3
  • .m4p (unless it contains video)
  • .mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

Let me know how it goes! If this doesn't work for you, I'll see what else I can come up with 🙂

 

Thanks for reading! If this worked for you, please mark this as the solution, this way others will be able to find the answers to their problems in the future! 🙂
