My Question or Issue

Recently, a new feature got introduced; you can play local files directly from the internal storage of your device! Very handy, no need to sync with a PC - which is kinda spotty here and there - just play back the files you stored on your phone!
At least, that's how it's supposed to work, I think. Now, I wonder where Spotify sources these files from, because I also see audio files from WhatsApp in there, despite me just opening a file from the downloads folder, where no WA audio is stored. Also, is there a good way to empty the entire local files playlist, since it added over 400 songs just by opening an mp3 from the downloads folder, of which I don't want most of them in there.
So, is this feature still in early development stage, or has this simply been overlooked?
