“I have songs on my PC that are not on Spotify servers, but I wish to listen to them with Spotify. How can I import my local music to Spotify?”
At the moment the Spotify app on Xbox One only supports streaming from their catalogue, not local files. If you have local files on a hard drive connected to your console you could use the media player app to play them, but local files from another device won't play (at present). It could be worth making this suggestion on Spotify's own. The trick is getting local files onto your iOS Spotify app is to use the Download option. (Make sure you’re on the same Wi-Fi network!) Note: Keep in mind that you’ll only be able to play local files on your iOS devices if you have a Spotify Premium or Spotify Family account.
I create a playlist for each album that's not in the Spotify catalog, but you could also just throw everything into one big playlist. Here's a screenshot of how I have mine organized: You can sync either through the computer or the iPad. Just remember the key is to have the app running on both devices, otherwise the iPad won't see the local files. The Spotify android app does not recognize local files that are on your phone. Instead, the Spotify app will need to sync these from your PC over WiFi and store them directly in the Spotify app.
Though Spotify offers a large music library, sometimes you may find that the songs you are looking for are not available on Spotify. One of the unique aspects of Spotify is that it blends a typical streaming music service with the playback of music you have stored on your own PC. This way you can supplement Spotify’s 50 million-track library with other tracks you own that don't appear in the Spotify database of tunes.
Normally, when you install the Spotify app successfully on your computer, the program will automatically search and sync locally stored music on your hard drive. But, what if you've got a collection of MP3s spread across several folders or even external storage? Spotify obviously won't know about these, so sometimes, you have to manually add these tracks.
Step 1 Add local music tracks to a Spotify
Go into Preferences first. (Windows users can find it under Edit, while Mac users can find it under Spotify.)
Then scroll down to Local Files and select ADD A SOURCE.
With the folder added, any unrestricted music contained within will be immediately imported into the Spotify library. Then you will see the music added under the Local Files tab in the main menu tree.
Step 2 Create a new playlist
After adding the music to your desktop’s library, you’ll need to create a new playlist to put it into by clicking the New Playlist button down in the bottom left-hand corner of the Windows desktop client. As an example, we’ve created a new playlist named “Copied”,
Once the playlist is ready, jump back over to the Local Files tab, and add the song you want synced to the playlist.
Now you can freely enjoy your local music tracks on Spotify.
Note: Spotify supports only .mp3, .mp4, and .m4p files. Not includes .mp4 files that contain video. If QuickTime is installed on your computer then .m4a files are also supported.
