Syncing local files to iPhone won't work no matte what I do

[plasmaister]

I've followed 5 different tutorials perfectly and nothing worked. I've turned off firewall both in and out of my computer, I've tried every combination of hitting download and being offline and restarted the app on both my computer and phone several times, restarted my computer and phone twice each, restarted my router multiple times, and searched dozens of help pages, yet no matter what I do, I'm not able to sync local files from my computer for download on my phone. This has happened for weeks now and I'm getting sick of it, and at this point I can't think of anything else to do which could potentially fix the issue.

Hey @plasmaister and welcome to our Community!

When you upload your local files, spotify will try to find a match with the metadata we have and if it finds it it will play the song from our catalog over the local file. In this case, it's possible that some of the tracks are being linked with a song we have available so it's playing that one.

In this case, we'd suggest changing the tracks metadata to see if this helps.

Keep us posted.
