Many would probably like to use Spotify as their main and only service for listening to music, but some are held back by other platforms with unofficial remixes or simply songs by unknown artists. Manual loading can solve this problem. Manually downloaded tracks will even sync across devices, so you can say goodbye to limitations and other less-technical listening methods. We tell you how to do this.
Why Spotify Might Be Adding New Songs to Your Playlist
First, you need to download all the music that is not on the sites. Some music has no copyright, there is nothing to do – download it to MP3. Next, you need to select a specific folder for this music, which will be synchronized with Spotify. You can create an entire library from several folders on your computer – that’s also not a problem.
I wouldn’t call this step mandatory, but the inner perfectionist won’t leave me alone. I advise you to edit the tags of downloaded songs so that Spotify displays them correctly in the player. You can manually add cover art so that these tracks do not stand out among others. There are many programs for editing tags for both Windows and macOS. For the sake of aesthetics, it is enough to indicate the name, artist, and album.
Adding
It’s time to add the generated library to the Spotify application on your computer. Click on the user name in the upper right corner, then “Settings”. Just below there will be an item “Show files on device”. Here you need to add the folder in which all the prepared tracks are located. Now you need to find files from the device. Go to the “My Media Library” section, there will be a “Files on the device” tile. From here they need to be moved either to an existing playlist or to a new one – this is important. This completed the interaction with the computer.
Synchronization
While I was writing this instruction out of old memory, I ran into a problem – the tracks did not want to be transferred to iOS. As it turned out, you need to go to the Spotify settings, open the “Files on device” item and switch the toggle switch to the right. Next, in the media library, you need to find the playlist to which the tracks were added from the computer and download it. Important: the mobile device and computer must be on the same local network (connected to the same Wi-Fi network). All is ready! Now the media library is synchronized between devices, and music from your computer will always be stored on your iPhone or Android device. This may not be the most elegant method of transferring your library, but, unfortunately, there are no other ways. Now you won’t have to suffer due to the unavailability of music on sites or restrictions on background listening.
Important point: the instructions work exclusively for Spotify subscribers. This cannot be done with the free version of the service. As for supported devices: you can add music to the library from a device on Windows and macOS, and it is synchronized with applications on Android, iOS, and iPadOS.
