Playlist Suddenly Stopped Syncing on iPhone

Solved!

Playlist Suddenly Stopped Syncing on iPhone

Hi,

 

I have a few playlists on my desktop, not nearly 3,333 songs, and I am trying to synch them to my iPhone 4S to be available for offline play.

 

I can synch up to 2 playlists, then suddenly syncing will halt at around 200-300 songs no matter what playlist I am syncing.  I have cleared cookies and data, resinstalled, made sure both the desktop and phone are on the same wifi, and have followed every suggestion posted in the forum.

 

It's frustrating that I cannot synch all of my music for offline play as this was the leading capability that drove me to purchase Premium.  Any help to get all of my playlists synced for offline play will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks for the prompt reply.  I have 304 MB Available..  Is this too little of storage to sync all of my songs for offline play?

I think that might be the issue, in general they recommend you have at least 500MB - 1GB of available storage space for synching.

From my experience, it appears that iOS won't allow you to use up all of the free space on the device with Spotify.

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

 

How much free storage space do you have on your phone?

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem, but I have 13Go free on my iPhone... Anytime I try to sync my playlists, it works for 1 or 2 minutes, and all downloads stop (it remains blocked, after downloading 10 to 60 songs).

I tried to log out, to delete and reinstall the application a few times, nothing worked for me... Any clue ? Thanks.

Is the screen going to sleep at all when this happens?
