Checking for new local files?

My Question or Issue

Does Spotify check for new Local files? It seems it doesn't. I added a few subfolders to the Local folders location, and it didn't see them. What do I do?

Hey @RXT1885,

Thanks for the post.

Try taking the songs out of the subfolder. The Spotify local files system can read only a single directory.

Let us know if that helps.

Are you kidding??? I have thousands of tracks in hundreds of subfolders reflecting albums. Squash them together so Spotify can play them???

I can't believe Spotify still can't handle subfolders! It's an obvious, not to say ubiquitous, requirement for any self-respecting piece of software and not exactly rocket science to program. Come on Spotify, pull your socks up!!
