Hey @Joeyk12212003,

Thanks for the post.

We recommend checking thsi post for some troubleshooting you can try if your local files are not working.

Alternativelly, you can try changing the format of your files, which don't work or editing the metadata. Make sure that there are no special symbols like !, @, #, $, ` etc. and that the artist/ song name features only letters from the standard roman alphabet.

Hope this helps.
