My Question or Issue

After 100 years of trying to figure out how to get Spotify on Desktop to actually display the album art in the local files I was importing, I discovered that it now has decided to not allow me to sync them to my iPhone. I ensured that I followed all steps correctly, and did so several times. I actually did everything so very perfectly and I did nothing wrong and it has taken me all night and wasted several of my precious hours. I am incessantly met with a "Song Not Downloaded" message. LIKE, DOWNLOAD IT THEN!???!!!!! oh my god!

Here is all the tea

- I have already restarted all devices SO MANY times. All apps and devices are up to date, using the same WiFi, and logged into the same account.

- On the Spotify iPhone app, when I go to Settings > Local Files, there is no "Enable sync from desktop". There is only a "Local audio files". It is already switched on.

- I am a residential student at my school so I do not have access to the router. However I have successfully synced local files using the same devices on this same WiFi in the past.

- Firewall is disabled on my laptop.

I have actually tried each and every suggested solution across the entire Internet. The fact that this has been an extremely common issue for so many people for SO MANY YEARS is ridiculous. Rarely is there a solution to be found across these countless forums with people having the same issue. Why Spotify seems to neglect the fact that their Local Files system works approximately 5% of the time is very frustrating. Please help me if you can I am so exhausted!
