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

[@JeahnLaffitteAdventures]

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. Android users may need to download songs onto their phones directly to the Spotify folder. 5. Try rebooting the apps to get things moving along and updating 6. Try making sure your songs are in .mp3 format 7. Try temporarily disabling your computer’s firewall 8. 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 ❤️

somehow doesnt work for me :( my phone app settings look different but i did activate local data. also spotify connect on my pc says my phone is in another network even tho theyre both connect to the same wifi.

[@mes1109]

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

[@adialon300]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! my file was apparently .WAV and not .mp3 format, so I converted it and it worked instantly! Thanks!

[@ritioul]

connecting to the same wifi worked for me thans

[@lynnwestland3359]

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

[@taylonyilly]

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

[@JeahnLaffitteAdventures]

Thank you for the kind words 🙏

[@xjoshriverax]

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. :)

[@JeahnLaffitteAdventures]

For reals! Get with the program Spotify! Hahaha. You’re welcome ☺️

[@icanseethewhales]

this video is the only one that actually tells what to do. thanks.

[@yungchildsupport4445]

There’s many videos with similar titles but for completely different tutorials. Broaden your search result next time, you donut.

[@Princess.Tracey]

i was watching some lazy dude make the tutorial and he only did half the tutroial and then just told you what to do for the rest of it 😭

[@adriennebell6934]

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

[@UAP2026]

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!

[@JeahnLaffitteAdventures]

Haha that’s sick. Glad it helped

[@yuhrodriguez7633]

tysm this was sooooo much clearer than all the other ones, i actually got it to work!!

[@JeahnLaffitteAdventures]

Yay! Glad it helped. Hopefully it’s not outdated in a week or two haha

[@Skrill15]

You're my lifesaver, my everything i sat therer for 4 hours now and it FINALLY WORKED

[@meeskamooska]

USEFUL TIP! I spent hours downloading songs and following the steps but it didn't work on my phone. It said that the songs would not sync, despite me being on the same network. Finally figured out why! My songs were downloaded in the mp3 format and I guess it was not compatible with iPhone (I could not drag the files to iTunes either). I converted all the files into m4a (You could use a mp3->m4a converter or download your songs in m4a from the start if possible) and they immediately worked! Everything is now playable in my Spotify :) Hope it helps! p.s: I saw some comments saying theirs only worked with mp3 files, but somehow mine only worked with m4a. So I guess just try and see which works for you!

[@MetallicaRocksss]

I was having the same problem and this solution worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤

[@geezis_4745]

Bless your heart 😭, this is the REAL FIX !

[@neszero]

This was my problem. THANK YOU!

[@relic4948]

thank God for this man

[@ccatd3666]

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

[@nwoopydoopy3269]

thank you very much this solved my issue!

[@kartik_3091]

[@killerqueem]

[@shonest2133]

Works just fine, much appreciated!

[@AlreadyAUser]

Sick dude! I had 3K worth of collected tunes that I really wanted to throw into spotify. Much appreciated.

Switched to apple music because this process was 10x easier, stumbled across this video and worked a treat.

[@ArcanaEclipse]

Dude this was the only one that actually worked. A real legend right here.

[@earmage34]

thanks alot man! for any others, make sure your firewall is off, to turn it off just go into your settings and look up firewall, then turn off the one that says it’s “(active)”

[@3ns_x321]

tysm bro the pinned comment actually solved my issues, i was craving for the soundtrack

[@mambaest968]

[@LeytonCurran]

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!

[@user-pl5lm3bb8n]

Awesome, perfect video. Other guides don't work. Thank you so much!

[@NathanBloch]

Great video, thanks! If you're having trouble adding it to a playlist make sure Enhanced Shuffle is turned off or for some reason it won't let you add a local song.

[@FlorianEmekaEzeabasiri]

thanks man, simple, fast, working tutorial. cheers

[@gopslop]

Yaaay! Glad it helped

[@ieuanhuw2009]

Doesn't work - song is still greyed out :(

[@junyaiwase]

make sure your file is an MP3 and not any other audio format

[@izzayyyyy_]

it's still unplayable on my phone, why? already enabled local files and downloaded the playlist :(

[@swatforce3309]

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.

[@aylexx4419]

@@swatforce3309 I tried it but it still doesnt work on my phone...how did you download the playlist on pc?

[@Juan-ob3kx]

You may need to go to settings and allow Spotify to use local network but idk.

[@nickgiesbrecht1777]

very good step by step tutorial bro you helped me out a lot. thanks :)

[@useremir00]

God bless you bro you have no idea how hard it was for me to sync the files, was talking to spotify for a few months at a time and they couldnt help, this is a lifesaver bro, thankyou so much.

[@sebastianmarkmann9594]

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.

Oh my God!!!! This is the only video that helped me get my downloads to play on my phone. I have been trying to figure this out for over a month, and I almost gave up. I watched countless videos and nothing was working. Thank you so much! You just saved my brain from exploding lol! Music is everything to me, it's my coping mechanism, and not having my playlist exactly how I had it on my recently deceased iPod was killing me. I cannot thank you enough! Please add a way for your viewers to send you a donation or something.
