How to Put Local Files on iPhone Spotify
Spotify has become one of the most popular music streaming platforms, offering a vast library of songs and playlists. However, sometimes you might want to add your own local files to your Spotify library on your iPhone. This can be done in a few simple steps, and we’ll guide you through the process.
Understanding the Process
Before you start, it’s important to understand that Spotify does not directly support importing local files. Instead, you’ll need to use a workaround to sync your local files with Spotify. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you do that.
Step 1: Install a Third-Party App
One of the most popular methods to add local files to Spotify on your iPhone is by using a third-party app. One such app is “Sync Spotify,” which allows you to import local files directly into your Spotify library.
1. Open the App Store on your iPhone.
2. Search for “Sync Spotify” in the search bar.
3. Tap on the app and then tap “Get” to download and install it.
Step 2: Open the App and Log in to Spotify
Once the app is installed, open it and log in to your Spotify account. You’ll need to enter your username and password to access your library.
1. Open the “Sync Spotify” app.
2. Tap “Log in to Spotify” and enter your credentials.
Step 3: Import Local Files
After logging in, you can start importing your local files. The app will typically allow you to select files from your iPhone’s storage or from specific folders.
1. Tap “Import” in the app.
2. Choose the files you want to import from your iPhone’s storage or from specific folders.
3. Select the files and tap “Import” to add them to your Spotify library.
Step 4: Sync Your Spotify Library
Once the files are imported, you’ll need to sync your Spotify library to ensure that the new files are available on your iPhone.
1. Open the Spotify app on your iPhone.
2. Tap the menu icon in the top left corner.
3. Select “Your Library” from the menu.
4. Tap “Sync” to sync your library with the new files.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Local Files on Spotify
After syncing, you should now be able to find and play your local files in the Spotify app on your iPhone.
1. Open the Spotify app.
2. Navigate to “Your Library” and then “Playlists.” You should see your new playlist with the imported local files.
3. Tap on the playlist and start playing your favorite local tracks.
