Spotify App Recent Update Sync Display On Android

Spotify lets you stream helluva soundtracks and hands down has one of the biggest music streaming playlists. But, it still misses out on a few Indie singles and artists. I also don’t find many regional songs of course due to legal issues. For these exceptions, Spotify provides you an option to stream local songs on the Spotify Desktop app. And in fact, you can even sync the playlist on to other devices in Spotify and enjoy the same songs on every device. So, here’s how to Sync Local Files From Spotify desktop to any device. However, this is a paid feature and you need to be a premium Spotify user.

Sync Local Files From Spotify Desktop To Any Device

1. Firstly, you will need to attach the Music Playlist local folder on Spotify. Here, I am going to attach my local folder on Spotify Windows. To do that, go to your Spotify Account Settings.

Update the Spotify Mobile App. To set up automatic updates on an iOS device, tap iTunes & App Store, and switch Updates to on. On an Android device, open the Google Play Store. Use the search bar to find Spotify. Tap the three vertical dots in the top right and check Auto-update.

Before update, i can use my earphone to change to the next song without unlocking my hp. Now, I only can increase or decrease the volume without unlocking. Jun 13, 2019 Having easy access to these downloaded songs and albums is important to me, but the latest Spotify update that’s rolling out now (version 8.5.9.737 for Android and 8.5.7.601 for iOS) makes them. To listen to music on the go, download Spotify from the Google Play or Apple app store. Spotify on Android with Google Play Spotify on iOS with the AppStore.

Spotify will no longer work with third-party DJ apps starting on July 1st, 2020. The news was posted by Algoriddim, the developer behind a popular DJ software for iOS called Djay. Restart the app. Restart your car (by turning the ignition off then on again). If possible, delete the Spotify app then reinstall it. If that didn’t work: Check your car’s media system for any updates to the Spotify app. Check with your car's stereo manufacturer for any updates to the firmware/operating system.

2. In the Account Settings, scroll down to Local Files Section. To stream local files, you need to turn the slider on. Once that is done, you will see two default folder options – Downloads and Music Library. If you have your song and playlists in those folders, you can move to Step 5. Else, we will need to attach our folder. To attach a different local folder, click on “Add a Source”.

5. After you have attached the local folder, the songs will be available to stream on Spotify. To stream local songs, click on Local Files Library on the right-hand side. It should be present in the “Your Library” section.

6. Once you see your Local Files, we need to add them to a separate playlist. To do that, click on the 3 dots beside the songs. From the extended menu, move to “Add to Playlist”. An extended tray will display the existing playlist names, you can add to any of these. In case you have lots of local songs and want to stream them all, I would suggest creating a new Playlist. Here, I already have a playlist called Local Songs where I will be adding 3-4 local songs.

This is just a one time process and needs to be done every time you add a new local song. Now that you have downloaded the songs, you can move on to a different network and still, you will have the playlist available. The best thing about this process is that the songs don’t take up much space. To be precise, if your download preference is set to normal, each song would take approx 2.8 MB where High will take 4.7MB per track and very high might take 9.4MB per track.
