Unfortunately, Spotify can't access any files (as mp3's) stored elsewhere on your device. You can however sync local music into Spotify on your mobile using the desktop app:

The only way is to transfer the songs to your PC and then make a playlist on Spotify, download it and you are done

If you're using Spotify free then you cannot use Offline playlists. I'm a little confused as to what you are asking, please can you clarify?
