Hey stonekirby , thanks for coming to the Spotify Community! I'm going to see if I can help you, but your problem is very unique. Is the problem only rooted in specific songs or is it different when you re-download the list?

When you downloaded these songs, were they from some different source? Or is there any other kind of connecting factor that you can find or think of? If there's nothing you can think of, could you let me know what some of the problematic songs are and where you got them?

Also, are you still sane? I'll try to clear things up. I think it is rooted in some specific songs, maybe it has a wrong encoding or something. The songs are downloaded from different sources, but there's nothing that should connect them. One of the songs is from Soundcloud, the other one is from Youtube maybe both sites are problem childs? Would it be helpful if I could send the URL or maybe the song, as in the file, itself?

I'm not sure about copyright, legal rights and the sort though Please don't correspond privately!! I have the same problem -- just one of my local files won't download. I have others that work just fine and are also downloaded from YouTube like this one, but this one just won't work on my phone! It plays just fine on my computer's spotify I have a PC though , but for some reason it just won't sync on my phone no matter what I do!!

Also still sane, but slowly losing my sanity the longer this doesn't work. If you would like to add selective folders, click on the Add Source button and browser for the folder. Spotify will scan all the files and folders and the music files to Spotify. Step 3: All the files you import to Spotify can be viewed and played from Local Files section under Collection in the sidebar.

If you have too many files in your local repository, creating playlists from local files would be a great idea. Step 4: Now connect your smartphone to the same wireless network and open the Spotify app.

Make sure you are signed in using the same account that you are using on the desktop app and click on the Devices section under Main in sidebar.

Step 5: Once the desktop application identifies the connected device, it will show you a pop-up asking whether you would like to sync the device with Spotify. Click on the button to open the sync window. Step 6: The app will list all the playlists you have created in your Spotify account along with local files you have imported from your hard disk. If you would like to sync the entire local library, check Local Files. The sync process will start instantaneously and all the tracks will sync to your iPod for offline playing.

The syncing might take time depending on the number of tracks you are trying to sync. So that was how you can sync local files that you have purchased from different sources to the Spotify mobile app. As far as free users are concerned, I feel that you can listen to locally synced songs on your mobile.
