Spotify Local Files Won't Download

Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

Spotify uses three different quality settings for streaming, all in the Ogg Vorbis format. The 'normal' default Spotify streaming quality on your computer is 160 kbps, or 96 kbps on mobile devices. Actually, if you add local music files to a playlist in the Spotify Desktop Client, the files will be uploaded from your PC to your phone. They will be in an encrypted form like all regular Spotify songs. Recently, I added a new song from local files but it won't go over to my phone. I've followed all the steps like having them on the same WiFi, having them connected and stuff like that. I've even reinstalled Spotify on mobile and tried downloading the whole playlist multiple times but now I have lost all my local files on my phone. If you have to musch music in your local repository, creating playlists from local files would be a great idea for you. Make sure your Android phone is connected to the same WI-FI network and is signed in with the same Spotify account as your PC. (Off-topic: for an IPod connect it with a USB cable).

Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.

For: Premium

On desktop, import your local files (with the 'Desktop' steps).
Add the files to a new playlist.
Log in on your mobile or tablet using the same WiFi as your desktop.
Go to Settings > Local Files and switch on Local audio files.
Note: You need to allow Spotify to find devices in the prompt that shows.
Download the playlist with your local files.

So after i opened spotify and upon seeing the 'new' update i was devastated because i thought i have completely lost all my songs. Only a few hours ago, i purchased premium. AND LO AND BEHOLD, after the purchase went through, I GOT THE 'OLD' LAYOUT BAAAAAACCCKKKKK!!!!! AND ALL OF MY SONGS (EVERY. ONE) YES, IS IN THERE! Cannot see all spotify songs on new iphone app free. Since you're able to access your Liked Songs on your mobile device, I'd recommend clean reinstall of your Spotify app on desktop. It's different than regular reinstallation. Just follow the steps provided in this Spotify article. Emilia8 Rock Star 9. I recently got a new iPhone 6s Plus and iClouded all of my apps, including Spotify, from my old iPhone to my new phone but now there are certain songs that will not play at all. I am a premium user and at first I thought that it was a streaming problem but then I downloaded many songs including some that will not.
