They won't play until you have downloaded the playlist containing your local files to your mobile. Did you put the local files into a playlist then download it on your mobile? If the local files don't sync, here's a list of things to check.

 

  • 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.
  • Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
  • Check that you haven't already hit the limit of 3,333 downloads per device or 9,999 downloads across all devices.
  • If you are using a wifi network outside of your home, there is every chance that the protocols used by spotify for downloading are blocked.

If you still can't make it work, you can create a mobile hotspot on your mobile and connect your PC to this hotspot via wifi. Syncing the local files should then work.

You first need to download the files to your android, following the steps here. Let me know if you still have problems.

Now it's saying that i must go to settings  and enable the opiton " Download using your cellphone " , but it's already on ... and the musics  still "grey" and unable to listen even when i'm online on cellphone...
