Local Desktop Files not showed on my Android

[mariocornalo]

Hi there!

I'm actually having some problems with sinchronizing my local desktop files on my Android. So, the fact is simple, I just can't see my sincronized local files on the phone, unless I put them on a playlist, or in the "Selected songs" default playlist.

In the menu "Your music" (in the phone) I can choose beetwen the next options on Spotify;

• Playlist.
• Songs.
• Albums.
• Artists.

I think there's an option "Sincronized local files" missing there, or something. Because in the previous options, my local files are not being shown, nowhere, unless I put them on a playlist, obviously.

So, is there a way to listen my local files on the phone without puting them on a playlist?

My phone: Samsung GT-N7000

Android version: 2.3.6

Spotify version: The latest, on both desktop and phone.

Thanks a lot!

Mario.

Can you make sure you are syncing add power the guide here

I've already cheked that guide, yes. But it didn't solved my problem at all, my local files are in .mp3 format so they shouldn't have any trouble.

Oh I see. Just re read your post.

I'm afraid the files need to be in a playlist to sync to the phone. Sorry, this is the way it works.

Thanks Daniel, that was the anser I was looking for! I think in a future version would be great to sync the local files on the phone without the need of puting them on a playlist.

Thanks a lot for your time!
