Garmin Spotify - local files not syncing

My Question or Issue

I have  playlists that contain both Spotify songs and songs from my local files. The way one can listen songs from local files on mobile devices is to download playlist on a mobile device while having both mobile device and computer with local files on the same WIFI network. When it comes to my phone, that works without any problem.

 

One of the main reasons why I have decided to buy Garmin Forerunner 645 Music, is to listen to my music (playlists) from the watch without having to take my big Samsung phone with me when I go for a run.

 

Unfortunately Spotify doesn't sync (download) local files to Garmin, regardless that both Garmin and computer where local files are stored are on the same WIFI network, and Spotify desktop app is open while attempting to download playlist to the Garmin. Only Spotify songs are downloaded.

 

So, my question is, is it possible to download songs from local files to Garmin or not? If it is, what am I doing wrong?

 

If it's not possible due to some limitations of the software, please Spotify look into that and make it possible!
