Hi! Welcome to the Spotify community.

 

If you have synced playlists offline on your phone, you must download them again on your PC.

I AM NOT AN EMPLOYEE OF SPOTIFY AB. I am just a thirteen year old child trying to help out. I am not paid to help or say any views of Spotify AB or any of it's affiliates, so the least that you could do is share some kudos, or, if I helped you out, mark my post as a solution. It makes me all fuzzy inside

hello there. Im not the best coputer savy kinda guy and i dont know how to download my music to  my phone???  I aparently have downloaded my playlists etc. but i dont know where they are at. Ive checked my playlists on my phone and empty. I have an ZTE android and i could use some help please????.

I think you're saying you've ut mp3 files on your phone. You won't be able to play these via the SPotify app.

 

 

You need to add them to a playlist on the desktop version and sync that playlist with your android device.Please read the support topic here for assistance setting up local file sync: Listen to local files

Make sure that you are on the same WiFi network and Windows & third party firewalls are configured to allow the Spotify connection through.

Another point to note is that sometimes if a track is stored locally & is also available to stream then when you sync to your device it will automatically use the Spotify streaming version but the data from your playlist. If for some reason the metadata such as track length differs this can cause conflict and break the track. In this instance you are best off removing the local file from your playlist on the desktop and adding the track from the Spotify server then re-sync. This should fix this issue.
