Local Files won't download offline

[pwh23]

I'm trying to add some songs to the local files portion of my Iphone's Spotify app from my MacBook and it won't work.  My firewall is off, I'm on a school wifi with no other ones around, and I've tried redownloading both the phone app and the MacBook app.  I created a playlist on the computer with the songs I wanted by dragging them from local files into a new playlist and hitting the available online button.  I went to my phone and noticed the tracks were greyed out in the playlist and that the Local Files folder on my phone showed 0 songs.  I hit available offline on the playlist on my phone where the local greyed out tracks were and continue to get a "waiting for download" message.  I have fewer than 3000 songs on my phone and more than 14 GB of space left.  What gives?

Looking for a solution to the same problem. Reinstalled multiple times, tried many ways to get them to sync. No luck.
