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

How do I add non Spotify songs to my phone?
I couldn't find a helpful tutorial anywhere! So after much troubleshooting, I decided to make one that actually works, until Spotify changes their system again lol.
For everyone still struggling to get it to work, here are a couple things to try.
1. You need Spotify Premium
2. Be sure you’re connected to the same WiFi network.
*You may need to allow Spotify to access your local network in your phone settings
3. Be sure to turn local files on BOTH devices
4. Try rebooting the apps to get things moving along and updating
5. Try making sure your songs are in .mp3 format
6. Try temporarily disabling your computer’s firewall
7. Conjure a spirit from the back rooms and cross your fingers 😅
Also, you can add album artwork in windows media player or VLC 😉
I also teach at photography at LumaUniversity.com for anyone interested ❤️

    At least on iPhone, you might have to go the privacy tab for Spotify in your system settings and enable network sharing, I was struggling for 3 hours to figure that out

    This was SO HELPFUL. I've had Spotify for 10+ years and this whole process still gets me. Some of my songs randomly were no longer playing on my phone and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I wasn't connected to the same WiFi network, so once I did that, it re-downloaded the missing songs. Come on, Spotify! Anyway - thank you. :)

    For me too, but I fixed it by disabling local files on my phone. Downloading the playlist on Spotify on my PC(even though it should be stored there already. Dunno how it works). then reopen Spotify on your phone and reenable local files. You must also do this step whenever you download new files, but it still works for me.
