  4. Go to Local files tab in your Spotify Localand add the songs to any playlist ( you may create new one or use already existing one. You may add the Local Files to more then 1 playlist. )

Spotify App on your iPhone : 

  1. Make sure you have internet connection ( Wi-Fi is the best choice )
  2. Select the playlist where your Local Files were added.
  3. Check "Available OfflineAvailable offline

Supported formats : .mp3, .mp4, and .m4p files

 

If you run into problems, let me know : )

 

Thank you, but I already have the local files added to offline playlists on my Mac. On my phone, I can see those local files on the playlists, but they are unplayable. It says I have to "sync" them onto my phone. Do you mind telling me how to do that? Thanks.

Hello @cambo38,


You can sync them by click "Avialable Offline".
