Play local music

[drewkerwin]

Just downloaded version 1.6.0.952.The app doesn't play local music. The app has no notion of local music regardless of what is written here:

or

https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/guides/#!/article/Listen-to-local-files

That seems odd. I've already sync'd music and the Google Music Player has no problem finding the music... Device is Google Nexus 5. Music is located /storage/emulated/0/synctunes.

Please provide a mechanism for Spotify to find and play local music.

Thanks

I assume you're talking about the Spotify app detecting locally stored mp3's etc on your phone. Correct, it doesn't do this. You must synchronise using the desktop app.

As mentioned, you should add kudos to the idea for supporting the play of locally stored files.
