Some synced local files won't play on spotify

[mariorepely]

I've tried to google the problem from a while now, but can't find any solutions.

I have recently downloaded some mp3 files from youtube using clipconverter.cc

When I tried to sync those local files to my phone, only some of them worked. No songs are greyed out and when I play a song it appears to be playing, but there is no sound. If I try to jump to the middle of the song, it will automatically start over. All of the songs play just fine on spotify on my computer. I have tried reinstalling spotify on android and the computer, but no luck. 

I use a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 and Windows 7 with latest spotify version. Any suggestions?

It sounds like those mp3s are damaged or in a format which won't play on your android. If you copy one of those over to your android, does it play using the stock music player? If they play on your PC, you could try converting/repairing them - there are plenty of free tools available if you search Google.

Thanks for answer!
Seems like you are right. Tried to play on a android music player, and it said the file wasn't supported.

Downloading a converting software now! Thanks for the help!

Good luck 🙂

It seems like the songs with copyright built into the song won't play on the mobile version of the spotify nor Android.
