Spotify is great as long as you don’t hit a bump with some sync problem. Oh, there’s the issue of your premium account not getting activated (or recognized in mobile), but that’s often just a server glitch.

Spotify Local Files On Mobile
Sidify Music Converter is a powerful music tool. It can not only download songs from Spotify to your local PC/Mac, but also convert your common audio files to MP3/M4A/FLAC/WAV/OGG, burn Spotify songs to CD, Upload & Share Spotify songs to OneDrive/Google Drive and edit tags. Scroll to Local Files and switch Show Local Files on. Switch off any sources you don't want. Click ADD A SOURCE to select another folder. Music from that folder is now in Local Files in the menu on the left.
If local files from your Mac or PC don’t get synced with Spotify and instead, Spotify shows you ‘similar’ tracks that you can download instead, that’s going to be one big headache. This usually happens when you have music tracks with metadata that’s way too similar to the ones Spotify has on its server.
On Mac 10.11.6 I fixed this by deleting the same file, found at Library Application Support Spotify Users User name Local Files.bnk. Quit Spotify, delete the file, then restart and your local file listings should be fixed. Definitely needs improvement though! Hi, I've got the problem that when I change something in my local files (in Windows Explorer), e.g. Remove a folder, rename a folder or relocate it, Spotify doesn't 'get it' and shows the files multiple times (some gray) or isn't able to play them (even if white). I already set the folder where Sp. Each song file splits into a few OGG format segments, so it is tough to find these segments to form a complete song. In a nutshell, Downloading tracks from the Spotify server directly is impossible. Here I will introduce the top 10 Spotify ripping tools using the recording technology to get Spotify to local MP3 files with 1:1 output. Scroll down to Local Files and switch Show Local Files on. Any files in your computer's My Music and Downloads folders are automatically selected. Switch off any sources you don't want Spotify to access. Click ADD A SOURCE to select another folder. You’ll now find music from that folder in Local Files in the menu on the left.
Why does this happen? The issue crops up mostly when you’ve got fan-versions of a popular song, or remixes and other modifications that leave pretty much of the metadata intact. This makes Spotify think that you’re trying to upload a song that’s already up there and so, it prevents sync and offers to let you grab the cloud versions.
Too bad, eh. But there’s a quick fix.
This is what you should try if Spotify not syncing Local Files to iPhone:
(make sure you use the same account on Spotify for your Mac/PC as well as for your iPhone)
Step 1. First, connect both your PC/Mac and your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network.
Step 2. Now, open iTunes on your PC/Mac and you should find your iDevice listed under the Devices tab on the sidebar.
Step 3. Create a new playlist from your system (on the device) and place one of the local files into this.
Step 4. Open Spotify on your iPhone and then select the newly created playlist.
Step 5. Enable “Available Offline.”
Step 6. You’ll now see a progress icon right beneath the song you’ve got on the playlist. This will get the song from the cloud to your Spotify app.
Add Local File To Spotify
Step 7. That’s about it.
Upload Local Files To Spotify
When you add more songs to this playlist, they get synced. Make sure you don’t turn off the offline sync feature.
Note that there’s a limit to the number of offline songs you can have on your device (each).
That’s all folks!
