Making a playlist offline some songs wont sync.

Making a playlist offline some songs wont sync.

I have Spotify Premium and until today i never had any issues with listening to music both online and offline on my IPhone 5s latest IOS w/ Spotify V 2.6.0. But last night I had an issue that my local tracks (2 of 3) unsynced, no big deal I clicked the offline tab twice to resync my music (this usually works) only to find that it started to make my tracks go offline then it stopped halfway. It stops on 1 song and prevent any of the tracks under that one song sync. I dont mind losing 2-3 tracks so long as I can have my 60+ song playlist back up and running. Please help I tried to remove that song and re download the playlist into offline mode but it will find another song along the way and stop as well. I also did the typical support thing and uninstalled Spotify and reinstalled it, still the same issue, I dont have a connection issue with my internet either. In the picture provided you can see "Mine Would Be You by Blake Shelton" is where the syncing stops and will not allow anything below it to continue.

I am having this same issue. Have local files on my computer and set up available offline on my iPhone 5, and it will only sync some of the songs but not all.

Listen folks, I am very new to the spotify app.  I have no idea how to download music to my ipod. Could someone start from the beginning  and give me step by step instructions.

Thanks

Im not so much having a problem getting my local music on my playlist much more the songs that i pull from Spotify that won't sync in my playlist. Out of my playlist (67 songs) only 3 of them are local music and sync perfectly fine. I never had an issue until the last update for Spotify. It feels like its a position issue on my playlist, if i delete the track from my playlist the track under that one then becomes "unsyncable". I am so frustrated and I just found out my other OFFLINE playlist just did this as well. My spouse has no issue due to unlimited data but I need to take my tracks OFFLINE to work my 10 hour shifts at nights with no WIFI.

I actually contacted Spotify about this - I was having problems with it last week and their response was:

"We're working on improving the way local files are synced to mobile devices from the desktop app.  The option should return soon and we'll promise all of the problems will be fixed ASAP!"

That was on the 13th...and as of today, I cannot import any new local files at all...so in the process of trying to improve/fix something, they've disabled it completely.
