Local files with a space in the name get greyed out!

Solved!

Local files with a space in the name get greyed out!

So, whenever I close the app, even when the main Spotify that hosts the files is open, files in a few specific playlists with spaces in the names get greyed out. I've done a clean install of the app on my phone and I've attempted to move the files to a new folder but it continues. The weird thing is, Spotify makes exact copies of the songs, but it removes the spaces and they just sit in the local files folder of my phone. I would like to play them from the specific playlist though as it is an album. This issue only persists in around 3 playlists, others are completely fine with no issues with spaces which has confused me a lot. Please help!

Hey there!

Thank you for your patience!

The relevant team has made some changes backstage and this should be fixed by now. If any of you are still having this issue, we'd recommend checking if you have your app updated. If so and the issue persists, delete all local files from your device and resync them. That will do the trick.

We appreciate all your reports regarding this behavior.

If anything else comes up, don't hesitate to ask.
