Some songs would play on MacBook but not on iPhone

Some songs would play on MacBook but not on iPhone

Hello,

 

I am a Spotify Premium user and use both my MacBook and my iPhone for Spotify. Recently, I found out that there are some songs that would play perfectly fine on my computer but not on the iPhone. On the phone the songs are playing but there is no sound. This only affects a couple of songs that I have in one playlist, the others are working normally. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hiya. Does this happen with local files you have synched to your iphone, spotify offline content or streamed music?

Hi Joe,

 

I'm talking about songs that should all be synched and offline available. But it doesn't work on the phone, no matter whether I'm within WIFI or offline...

If these are local files (mp3 or m4a) on your PC they need to be synched to your iphone as in this FAQ. Once the synch has completed successfully the tracks will have a downward pointing arrow by then in a green circle.

 

I'm trying to understand where this is going wrong so sorry for going over the basics.

 

It may be easier if you could post a link to the playlist you're having trouble with - right click on the playlist name in your desktop client > copy spotify URI and paste it here.

 

Also, could you restart your iphone by holding the Lock and Home buttons for 10 seconds or so and check how mush free storage space you have on the iphone.
