My Question or Issue

Hello

 

When I press the "Import your music" button on the App, it's probably scanning my storage to see if I have anything to import.

 

Thing is, this "scan" never seems to end scanning. It says "This could take a few minutes", but I've left it more than an hour and it doesn't end.

 

I've attached the specific menú that the app doesn't advance from

For now I only have one mp3 file (that works) in my default top level Music folder.

 

I hope I get some advice into what to do

Hey there @Pablossjui!

 

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Community.

 

Right now it's possible to import your local files from the desktop version of the app and then sync them to your phone.

 

Follow the steps here to see how you can do that.

 

Let us know how it goes, we'll be here if you have more questions.

 

Take care!

No It's not possible anymore, they removed it. Please I beg you to bring this feature back ASAP!

Me too had this problem 14 apr 2022

Hi @sugumar!

 

Could you let us know the following:

  • Your device's make, model and OS version.
  • The version of Spotify you're running,
  • The troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.

If you're on Android 9, there's this ongoing issue about Local Files not appearing on Android 9, which we're aware of and a fix is on the way in an upcoming update, so stay tuned and keep the app up to date.

 

Cheers!
