Spotify Won't Sync Local Tracks to Phone. Huge Issue.

I've been having a problem that's been ongoing for about a month. Whenever I add a local file to my Spotify playlists, then it won't sync to my mobile device (Galaxy Note 4, Android). Other tracks on Spotify's servers sync fine, though. I already tried contacting Spotify customer support but they were no help, all they did was offer 1 month free of premium (I already do pay for premium).

  • Re: Can't Download Local Files Music. Your PC and mobile must be connected to the same Network/SSID and spotify should be running on your PC. In your router settings, check that UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) is enabled. Make sure that Windows shows your network as private and not public.

  • You need to remove 'local-files.bnk' file from. AppData Roaming Spotify Users your_userfolder (for example 12345-user) After doing this you will need to set your local music folders again since they will be reset to default.
  • Any issues are normally down to communication problems so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download. Your PC and mobile.

Edit: I also want to add that I've done extensive Google searches on this issue, and no solutions have been found, just more people confirming that this is an issue.

The playlists show the greyed out track name, yet is stuck on 'waiting to download'. The syncing never occurs.

Things I've tried:

    1. Ensuring there were no firewall issues

  • 2) Removing the tracks and adding them back

  • 3) Switching from available offline to not available offline, and then back to available offline /download-game-car-eats-car-4.html.

  • 4) Clearing cache and saved data on the device

  • 5) Re-installing Spotify on the device

  • 6) Restarting my modem/router

  • 7) Using celluar data rather than Wi-Fi

  • 8) Re-installing Spotify client on my PC

  • 9) Ensuring there is enough space on my device

  • 10) Logging out and logging back in

Spotify Won T Download Local Files

Files

Is playing my local files on Android just out of the question?

I have Googled this to Hell and back and done all the 'workarounds' you can find.. but I CANNOT get my local music files to stream on my Android app. HTC One M8. Have turned all firewalls off, logged out/in, made all playlists available offline (even though I shouldn't have to do this) - only the Spotify songs get synced to my phone.. none of the local files do. They show up in the list in a playlist I made, but they're grayed out unavailable for play.

Am I completely missing something? Do the local files need to be in a playlist of their OWN? I really don't wanna have to use Google Music to create separate playlists for my local music when I'm listening to music on my phone (keywords: away from my PC - all local files work just fine on PC)
