Replacing an album that has been removed from spotify

[sebbelcher]

Hi,

One of my favorite albums, The Suburbs by Arcade Fire has just disappeared from the service. I listen to this album about once a week so I'm really notcing the loss.

I actually own the CD of this album, so is there any way I can get the CD copy of my album into Spotify on my iPhone/Echo so it re appears in my library and playlists?  I don't have any equipment to play the CD any more so I need it in my iPhone!!

The only way to get that album back would be to use the Local Files/Sync feature.  You’d need to have the Spotify app installed on either a Mac or PC, and have that CD imported onto that PC either in a folder or via iTunes.  Then, those files can get synced to the iPhone.

More info on the sync can be found at https://support.spotify.com/us/using_spotify/features/listen-to-local-files/.

Thanks for the information - is there any way to sync the files to Spotify on my Amazon echo also?

Unfortunately I don’t think it is possible at the moment.  There’s another thread on the topic of local files with Amazon Echo over at https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Partners-Web-Player-etc/Local-Files-Won-t-Play-on-Amazon-Echo.... 😞
