Liked songs not updating across devices with local files

[SideJoe]

I have not had this issue in the past, and I have uploaded a lot of local songs and created playlists. However, I have recently added more local files and have had quite a few issues setting it them up, again which I haven't had a problem with in the past. This particular issue if I add my new local file songs to my liked playlist, my other devices do not update. I've tried putting them all in offline, logging out, deleting the app, nothing is working, and I'm not sure how to fix an issue I haven't had in the past.

In this instance the Local File song "Super Chance" is not showing up in my liked songs for my mobile devices. However, if I had liked the song on my Android, it wouldn't show up on the other two. If I had liked it on my iPhone, it wouldn't show up on the other two. I've tried a plethora of things, but I can't seem to get them to sync together properly. I have not had this issue in the past, I have probably over 1000 local file songs and have liked various ones in the past, and they synced properly.

Hey @SideJoe,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

It's worth mentioning that the process of syncing local files between devices is in the process of being deprecated at the moment and that's why it's possible to experience some issues with it. 

You should still be able to play the local files on your phone, but keep in mind that they need to be copied over locally on the device and added through the Spotify app on mobile. We recommend taking a look here for more details.

Hope this helps and we're here if you're wondering about something else 🙂

I'm not sure I understand as my older music is working with syncing properly. If I go back to an older local album and like a song, it immediately updates across my devices. When I look at the metadata between the two songs (old and new), they are both .mp3 320kbps (except my iPhone doesn't show the album art for whatever reason which I'm sure will never get resolved).
