Spotify switches local files to piano versions after sync

Spotify switches local files to piano versions after sync

I am using an iPhone 6S with iOS 9.0.1

 

I'm trying to download some of my local files to my phone offline, but Spotify automatically switches some of my local files to piano/karaoke/cover versions when syncing to my phone.  For example:

 

Taylor Swift - You Belong with Me switches to... Taylor Swift - You Belong to Me (Piano Version)

Train - 50 Ways to say Goodbye switches to.... Train Ride - 50 Ways to say goodbye

 

When I play the files from the playlist in Spotify on my PC they work just fine but if I play the same file from my phone it is the other version.

 

I've tried...

Deleting and re-syncing files

Removing the files from the playlist and re-adding them from my local files

 

Nothing seems to be working... I'd rather have the original song.  How do I fix this issue?

 

Thank you

I have the exact same problem.

 

My desktop version is using my local file, but the mobile version is using the piano version.  Majority of my local files work on both dektop and mobile.. just a few that have piano versions on Spotify do not work on mobile.

 

iPhone 6s IOS 9.0.2

Spotify Music app 4.0.0 last updated September 25, 2015

 

Help!

 

Thanks!
