If the router is made after 2005, it will likely have this protocol. Make sure the router supports the Bonjour protocol. Play some music on the device that has the local files to see if it shows via Connect on the other device If that doesn't do the trick - can you try the following:Īdd some songs from our catalogue to the playlist as well as the local file/s and make sure they have ‘Show unavailable songs in playlists’ turned on in Settings It's also useful to double-check that you have connected both devices to the same Wi-Fi.

Local files can be turned on/off in the Settings menu.Ĭan you double-check that you've followed all of the support site steps correctly.

To sync local files from one device to another, you must be actively logged in to both devices with Spotify open and on the same network These files must exist on the device, either outside of the app or by setting them to Offline inside the app Hey there you for your post here in the Community. If anyone can please find me a solution for this I would be very grateful, as I just can't get it to work. I have tried reinstalling the spotify app on my phone, I have turned everything off and on again multiple times, I even left it over night hoping that the files would sync over that time.

The songs have a little grey exclamation mark next to them and will not play on my phone.

I have clicked the 'Download' button and a green arrow is indicated next to the playlist which says to me that the playlist should now be available.

The file format is mp3 and I have created a playlist for these files so that I can download them onto my phone.

I have got the local files available on my PC and they play just fine on the desktop app.

My phone has more than enough space available as well. My phone and PC are both connected to the same network. I have a premium plan and the issue I am facing is on my Android phone. So I was hoping if I layout exactly what I am facing, someone might be able to give me the correct answer. I know this topic has been posted countless times on these forums as I have been searching them for an answer to no avail. I have followed every step I've found on here in regards to playing local files on my phone and I still cannot get it to work.

Local files will not download onto my phone.

Spotify desktop app not downloading
