Spotify won't update my playlist

Solved!

Spotify won't update my playlist

I have two playlists, one with all my music and a second, smaller, one for my mobile phone. I added a few songs to both playlists, but the songs won't come up on the playlist for my phone. So I can't sync them and listen to them when I'm offline. Funny part is that they do show up on the other playlist, a list that isn't playable offline on my phone. 

 

I rebooted my phone multiple times, even deleted the app and resynct the playlist. I also logged out of the desktop app, rebooted it, nothing works. This is quite annoying, and I don't know what to do next!

 

Edit: Now it stopped syncing my playlist at 74%.. And it won't synchonise my local files..

I'm having problems synching playlists too. It's not the first time.. It's more often now then ever before. Hope they'll fix it soon

I get an error message in Spotify: Could not synchronize playlists...

Same problem here. The same issue happened about 3 weeks ago....

The problem applies mainly for the starred tracks. They will not sync at all sometimes, not to any of my devices; laptop, desktop, mobile phone

I just loaded spotify on my new phone and NO Playlists show up, it just keeps saying Loading...

Had that problem too, after a reboot it worked though. 

 

Tried to sync my playlist again, now it's stuck at 0%.. 

I'm having the same problem too with both computers, a smart phone and a TiVo box.

 

Is there a way to reload playlists manually?

 

Are they aware of the problems??

I am (still) experiencing issues on my Android phone while trying to synchronize all my playlists to use them offline. Spotify simply shows the error message

 

----------------------------------

Error while synchronizing

 

Unknown Error

 

<Continuie>

----------------------------------

 

 

or in German:

 

----------------------------------

Fehler beim Synchronisieren

 

Unbekannter Fehler.

 

<Weiter>

----------------------------------

 

Please advise how to fix this?

Same here

Same here: App Version 0.5.4.73 Android 4.1.1 (HTC Sense 4+) HTC OX+ Deinstalled several times!

I still have this problem, could you please help me have my ipad synchronised with my desktop app?

Thanks

Just checked my playlist on Android and IOS and a whole playlist isn't there but it's there on my desktop.

 

This has happend a few times in the past month and I have to keep remembering what I had on the playlist.

 

Is this an ongoing problem now??

 

Might have to cancel if this keeps happening.

Hi Richard,

I have read through the forum and although the problem is said to be fixed i am still having ongoing issues syncing my Starred playlist across all my devices (ipad,phone and desktop).

Is there a sequence of troubleshooting that i can do personally?

Thanks.

What desktop client version are you using?

I still have this problem on my devices (iOS) now and then.

 

I get old playlists, cant see new ones and tracks I have added to playlists do not update and show on my devices.

Does it eventually go back into sync on its own?
