My Question or Issue

I have a music library I keep on my Windows PC.  This I am able to set as a source for the Spotify app for Windows 10, and see the music with no issue within the Spotify desktop app.  I would like to also be able to see this set of songs that reside on my Windows PC on my Android phone.  Is this possible?

Hey there, welcome to the Spotify Community!

 

You can transfer your library from your PC to your Mobile and then use them inside the Spotify App. This feature is known as local files now in settings. You can use that to browse your library inside the Spotify App as well as add them to queue or playlists. Just turn the local files option on in your App settings.

 

Do note that only you will be able to play those files, if you add the items to a public playlist others will not be able to access that file. To know more about how to use this feature on your Android App please visit this FAQ page. You cannot use a single source across platforms for this, the files need to be present on the device for this to work.

 

Let me know if you need help with anything else.
