I'm very frustrated right now, not being able to simply download local songs to my phone. I have been using spotify for probably five years at this point, and am becoming increasingly frustrated regarding how finicky the iOS app has become.

Basically, I have around 1000 tracks I want to sync to my phone, so I put them all in one big playlist to sync to my phone. That didn't work, so I organized all my local songs by album into playlists and then into a folder, just to see if they would download at all. They have not. I have enough storage, I am on the same wifi as phone. Wondering where to turn, I've always had issues with offline downloading and spotify. 

The top of each playlist that contains the local songs which I would like to sync say "waiting to download" on ios.
