On my iphone they say they they're playble but when I go to play them on my phone they don't play at all. To start, please let us know which troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, this way we can avoid repeating them. Throughout this thread you will find many options shared by other mods. I have a similar problem, I have downloaded my songs, they show up in my playlist but it just doesn't play, it works on my desktop but on mobile no, i have redownloaded the songs individually and nothing, I deleted the app and redownload all my songs on mobile and still didn't work.
I think I found the issue or an indication of it. On your desktop I only know how to do It for windows, I don't own a Mac go to the audio file that shows up on your phone, but doesn't play, right click it, and check the properties.
From then go to details, and check the media section for "length". I noticed that for the audio files that show a time for the length are playable on my phone but the files that don't show a time are NOT playable, despite both being playable on the desktop version of spotify. The only reasoning I can see as to why it's not playable on the mobile version is for the whole "obtain your files legally" thing that spotify has going on now.
I am not sure how to solve it but maybe downloading audio files from the different website or something might work. I just noticed this trend so please like to have others see this and try it for yourself. I think it might have to do with the bitrate as well because under the file properties the bitrate is not listed either. Local files downloaded but not playing Solved! Go to solution.

Everyone's tags 1 : BA. Hello, I have an almost identical question. Hi calebmiles. Thats not really the same question. In summary, neither feature exists any more, so yes the tutorial needs updating if they are still mentioned Listening on Windows, Android and Sonos.
So I have a few questions: How can I backup the playlists? Titanium Backup doesn't seem to work, although I had one instance where I did not have to re-download my playlist. Didn't reply before as I wasn't really sure. Spotify does try and restore links when the content already exists, but in your case it sounds like it doesn't.
It will however manage the space available - when a link is broken i. It could take a while. It's a potential pain because, while it will try to make sure it has enough space for itself, it doesn't care about the space other apps might need.
The only 'fix' then is to wipe the app data and start downloading again. If i decorrupt the files and use them as an regular mp4 file am i doing anything unlegal?
