Adding local files to Spotify is an easy way to enrich your Spotify experience and create playlists of your favorite music. With this guide, you can quickly get started adding the music and audio files on your computer or device to the streaming service.
Step 1: Preparing Your Music
To add music from your computer or device to Spotify, you’ll need to make sure it’s in a compatible format. For audio files, this includes MP3, M4P (AAC), WAV, and FLAC.
You can check what format a file is in by right-clicking it in Windows or holding down the Control key and clicking on it in macOS. Once you’ve checked what format a file is in, you can use audio converter software to convert it if necessary.
Step 2: Adding the Files
Once your music is ready, open the Spotify desktop app. Click “Edit” followed by “Preferences” at the top of the window.
In the Preferences window, click “Local Files” on the left side of the pane. Check the box next to each folder containing your local music files and click “Add Source.” When you’ve added all your folders, click “OK” at the bottom of the window.
Step 3: Accessing Your Music
When you open Spotify again, you should see a new sidebar option called “Local Files.” This is where all your local music will show up! You can add songs from here to any of your playlists just like any other track.
Conclusion:
Adding local files to Spotify is an easy way to access all of your favorite songs and audio files from one convenient spot. By following these steps, you can quickly get started adding them to Spotify for easy listening.
