How to add non Spotify songs to your phone - May 2023

I have a problem where my phone and pc are on the same wifi and I turned on local files on both and put some songs on my pc but it doesnt even show the local files on my phone

THANK YOU

If you’re transferring files from pc to your phone make sure the pc files are set to “always keep on this device” or else some files will become unavailable over time🙏🙏

I haven’t been able to figure mine out for months I have over 750+ songs linked on local files but it’s impossible for me to add more this shit is ridiculous. I can get it on my computer and playing on there and I have absolutely tried everything to get it on my phone. Been trying to get it solved again tonight for 4 hours and am now getting discouraged again. This is crazy man I just want to listen to old ways by lil Uzi without a buffer.

I had a problem where it kept showing “not downloaded” so I tried a different way to download to mp3 on the pc and it worked,
so whoever is looking in the comments to find a solution, hopeful this helps

The local files playlist isn’t showing in my library please help, thank you

thanks

So how do you publish the song?? I made a Legend of Zelda playlist since Spotify only had remake crap and would like to share it with a few people as I can only listen to it on pc.

Thanks I needed to let the local network sinc

only some songs work any help? (specifically one album)

thank you

It’s still not working, I have everything done but the songs are greyed on my Smartphone and I can only play them on my Computer..

I did all the steps and still cant play it on my phone? like step by step and its still dark on my phone and wont play

Thanks, now I can add the Better Call Saul theme

thank you!!!

Exactly what I was looking for 😉

Thank you! this works now 🙂

Quick, easy, great vid

my first song worked but upon trying it for my second song it came up in my phones files in the synced folder in spotify by it self but i cant play it when im in spotify even though it got downloaded

Works as of this postttyt ❤

does it work only 1 song at a time?

Chur Moko From New Zealand worked like a charm

LIFE SAVERRRRRRRR

You are seriously the BEST! 💯💯💯👏🏻

Legend.

for me it says I need premium to download

LETS GOOOOO

Thank you so much you dont know how much this means to me

When I enable Local Files there is no Icon in the Playlist tab like you showed. What am I doing wrong ? Nothing changes when I turn it on

I LOVE YOU
You really saved me with this tutorial. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. <33333

when I turn on local files the folder doesn’t pop up

Thanks

Works, even when my devices weren’t on the same network.

tysm

Well it doesn't work for me.

I follow all the step like in the video, but the app on my android mobile says "Spotify can't play this right now. This track isn't available on your device " 🥲

thank you!!

broooo this is the only tutorial that has ever worked for me, i never knew why i couldn’t play the songs on my iphone. thank you so so much 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thank you for such succinct explanation! It worked!

it wont let me download the song on my pc?

i love you so much

TIP!
i tried hours downloading songs and all just for it to not work on my phone. it says that the song would not sync despite me being on the same network. finally figured out why. all my songs were downloaded in the mp3 format which were why they did not work (the songs couldn't be dragged to itunes either). hence i converted all of them into m4a and they immediately worked!!

i love you

if anyone is having issues, the biggest problem that isn't stated is that spotify doesn't allow DRM-protected music to be downloaded, meaning that the song won't be allowed to be shared unless you remove the drm protection from the song

sorry :/

Bro you are amazing

Really good video 👍

I followed the steps. On my phone the Local File tab is enabled, but it is still not allowing me to play it from my phone.

when I download the songs and put them in folder then try to play i get "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it." anything I can do, I am downloading in mp3 and have tried m4a & .wav none have worked
