Cannot get local files to download onto iPhone

Cannot get local files to download onto iPhone

Hi,

I'm having trouble syncing the local files on my mac onto my iPhone. I have downloaded the playlists both onto my mac and my iPhone, but the songs are just not showing up on my phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Jaime

Hello,

 

Please make sure the songs import into Spotify: 

1. Not protected by DRM

2.In supported format (https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/listen-to-local-files/)

 

Steps:

1.Make sure your computer and mobile devices (iPhone) in the same WiFi network.

2.Remove the playlist which you find the problem

3.Remove and re-add the "Local Sources" - Make sure all songs synced.

3.1 You may need to reopen Spotify (MAC/PC) [in case if you added too many songs] [Recommend to do]

4.Make sure all the songs which added can be played in Spotify (Mac/PC)

5.Make whole new playlists (Recommend using different name from preventing sync error)

6.On Mac/PC, check all the songs in playlist whether they can be played or not.

7.Download playlist on your devices(iPhone)

 

Please mark as solved+like.
