Get local music stored on SD card to show up in My Music on Android Mobile App

[TripleThreat802]

Samsung Galaxy S7

Android: Marshmellow 6.0.1

Spotify: 4.9.0.992

I have music stored on my SD card. 

That SD card is mounted in my Galaxy S7 as storage. 

Is there anyway to have my music (stored locally on my sd card in my phone) show up in my spotify app under my library? 

This worked great in my laptop. I installed Spotify and under "My Library" all my local music files from my PC showed up. I assumed the same thing would happen on my phone. 

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi, unfortunately the Spotify app does not detect and play any files stored locally on your android device. The only way to get these into the Spotify app is to sync them from a pc
