Hey everyone! So, there’s some news that the Spotify app might not be saving songs to Android phones and iPhones like it’s supposed to. People from all over the world are talking about this problem online, on places like Twitter and Reddit. It all started when someone on the r/spotify subreddit shared a picture showing an error message they got when they tried to download a song from Spotify to their Android phone.
The message said, “Could not download the track. Please try again later.“ And it’s not just Android users having trouble—people with iPhones are saying they can’t download their Spotify songs either. Some folks think this could be because of some new ways Spotify is doing things after Apple bought it last year.
“Despite scouring the forums for an answer, I still can’t figure out how to play local files on my phone. Nothing seems to work, and I worry that there’s no solution. Has anyone else encountered this same issue before? If so, please share your wisdom—I’d be forever grateful!? From the Spotify community.
Here is the answer from Yordan(Spotify staff)
It seems Spotify has stopped syncing local files between multiple devices. This means that if you have a library of local music stored on one device, it won’t be available for download on another device like iPhone or Android. This has caused quite a bit of frustration among users who rely heavily on the Spotify app to listen to their favorite music wherever they go.
So, don’t waste your time trying any solution from the Google search. None of them will work since Spotify has cut off the feature.
Fortunately, a workaround can allow users to access their local music files on any device.
It requires a cloud-based platform that can be installed onto iOS and Android devices. This app lets users download their local music files directly from the cloud.
