I was wondering if anyone could help me? I've got several playlists in iTunes I've imported into Spotify but they won't display properly on my iPad or iPhone.
They just show as "Loading" when I try going into them on my devices, despite having checked them for being available offline on my Windows desktop Spotify. I've even now created identical new playlists in Spotify and copied and pasted the tracks into them. But now while the names of the playlists are showing on my devices, they are showing as empty. Again, I've tried syncing them to be available offline on my desktop Spotify but that hasn't solved it.
I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled all three versions of Spotify, but they problem still remains. Can anyone please help me?
Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂
Have you tried synching those local files to your iDevices by following the instructions here?

If they are local files on your desktop, which they most likely are if they have been imported from iTunes then you need to manually sync those tracks over to the device using the same WiFi network + offline playlist technique since Spotify won't be able to link them to tracks in the Spotify catalogue to stream.

Oh, I see. It's just that a few days ago, I managed to get it to work for one of the playlists by right-clicking every single individual track and telling it to add to the selected Spotify playlist. Most of the tracks were then automatically matched with those in the Spotify catalogue and were therefore available on my iPad and iPhone app. The only tracks that it didn't work with were the tracks that, as you say, weren't available on Spotify, only on my iTunes library on my laptop.
I only really wanted to see if there was some way of doing the same for my other playlists without having to go through every single track individually, as my other playlists are very big and so it would be very time-consuming.
