Local Files sync - Error

[f3lipen2]

Hello guys.

A few days ago I "desynchronized" one of my playlists and it contained some songs that you only have on my computer. I sync the playlist again, but the songs on the computer did not sync. I have already done all the procedures to reinstall the application and clear the cache, but the songs do not download. They only have the status "waiting to download".

Sorry for some grammatical error in the above speech, I'm still learning.

Any issues are normally down to communication so here's a list of things to check if local files won't download.

• 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.

WOW!

It works. I created a connection with my cell phone, connected it to the PC and the synchronization was immediate..

Thanks man.
