Local files that interfere with playback

[user-removed]

I have a local file on my computer from one of the artists I've been listening to. Unfortunately for this artist whatever format the file is it Spotify says not supported. However the album is hosted on spotify but the player keeps trying to force play the file that wont work. Is there any way to force playback from web even when there is a matching file on your computer?

Thanks if you can help,

Steven

Hello and welcome:

Try right clicking on the track name and select Unlink track from the context menu and see if that helps. That should free up the track to allow the spotify service version to play.
