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

i don’t know what i’m doing wrong I guess i don’t really know how to get my songs in mp3 format and if i did that right the local files are nowhere to find
this video is the only one that actually tells what to do. thanks.

Just might be the best vid on KZread, simple steps, friendly tone, simple and aesthetic display. Thank you for your help.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. No one was able to give me information like the one you just gave me. SO thank you.
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. :)

Great Video! It didn't work for me at first, then i read your description and thought... "You know i don't know if my files are in MP3" so i got an mp3 file just to test it and it worked!
You are THE GOAT. Only place in the internet with this information. And even contacting Spotify directly I couldn’t make this work. Thank you!

I was having a problem getting the my downloaded songs to work on my iPhone with the message "spotify cant play this right now. if you have the file in your computer you can import it". I fixed this by going to my iPhone's "Settings", locating the Spotify App and enabling "Local Network" where it says "Allow Spotify to Access". Hope this helps :D

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.

How?? I did everything step by step
works like a charm
took me a while but it worked. For anyone struggling the reason it will not play on your phone is most likely because Spotify does not have access to local network in settings.
omg thank you sooooo much !!
Thanks mate, others were leaving out 1 step. Cheers
Works! :)
Thank you, I got to the last part where I had to change the phone app local files option before I needed to find this. :)

thank you so much man!
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!!
