My Question or Issue

 

Hi,

I have been able to download/listen to local files on my Android for a period until recently.

The Spotify app (on my Android) kept showing "waiting to download" status although I have already downloaded them before. (on both Mobile and Desktop)

 

I am using the same wifi, the downloads are also not illegal (i bought those CDs).

 

I have also tried:

- toggling on and off the download button for both Desktop and Mobile app

- redownload and reinstall on both 

- Moving files to another source and etc

However, nothing works.

 

Please help 😞

I realised thereafter that i toggled off my firewall for Norton but not for windows.

 

After toggling off the Windows Firewall and the download/no download switch on Spotify, everything could be downloaded again. 

 

Also, you may wish to clear some memory if you have lots of songs to download! 🙂
