Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

• Although Apple Music doesn't offer podcasts in the same app, it's much better than Spotify at handling local music files. Spotify keeps local files separate from the rest of your music collection and forces you to sync whatever you want to listen to from a computer. In contrast, Apple Music integrates local files with the rest of your library.
• For PC or Mac: Open Spotify, click - click File- select Offline Mode (Open Spotify on Mac, click Spotify in the Apple menu, select Offline Mode). For mobile phone: Go to your Library page - tap on - tap on Playback - switch on Offline.

Note: Files or downloads from illegal sources are not permitted.

The local files cannot be directly added on the Spotify mobile app. That said, once you’ve added your own music files using the desktop app then you can easily sync them to Spotify mobile app. These are the steps you need to follow. Note: The local files can only be synced from desktop to mobile app if you are a premium member of Spotify. Normally it should be well possible to play local files on spotify if they are on my computer. However, the tracks that aren't on spotify cloud are greyed out and can't be played. I have imported the local files, and spotify recognises them, as this is a new album and the songs are not yet on spotify.

For: Premium

1. On desktop, import your local files (with the 'Desktop' steps).
2. Add the files to a new playlist.
3. Log in on your mobile or tablet using the same WiFi as your desktop.
4. Go to Settings > Local Files and switch on Local audio files.
   Note: You need to allow Spotify to find devices in the prompt that shows.
5. Download the playlist with your local files.
