If local files from your Mac or PC don’t get synced with Spotify and instead, Spotify shows you ‘similar’ tracks that you can download instead, that’s going to be one big headache. This usually happens when you have music tracks with metadata that’s way too similar to the ones Spotify has on its server.

Spotify Playlists Not Syncing

Having the same issue as FrDavidW. Making new playlists on laptop app (Mac) and not seeing them on my work laptop (PC) nor iPhone. It has nothing to do with online vs offline, cause they're all online lists. It's only since a couple days, but it's very very annoying.
Add another device that supports Spotify or has the app (like a speaker or laptop). Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network, and log in to Spotify. Listen out loud.

Spotify is all the music you’ll ever need. Millions of songs available instantly. Just search for the music you love, or let Spotify play you something great. ILightShow takes the most of Spotify services to produce a wonderful synced light & music show. If you have Spotify Premium, it's pretty easy. All you have to do is sync your Spotify account to your mobile device and you can listen to your favorite tracks offline. Here is how to do it: Steps: 1. If you haven’t already, download the Spotify app on your PC. Launch the app and log in. Link Spotify to other apps From soundtracking your run with Runkeeper, to seeing what potential matches are listening to on Tinder, Spotify can be integrated with many other awesome apps. Note: Your Spotify account will never be integrated with a third-party app without your explicit permission to do so. Open Spotify on your computer, making sure you’re connected to your Wi-Fi. Make sure your mobile device is hooked up to the same Wi-Fi connection and open Spotify on that device. On your Spotify desktop app, you see your device appear below Devices in the left sidebar. Click your mobile device’s name in the left sidebar, and then click Sync This Device with Spotify in the main pane to see a list of.

Why does this happen? The issue crops up mostly when you’ve got fan-versions of a popular song, or remixes and other modifications that leave pretty much of the metadata intact. This makes Spotify think that you’re trying to upload a song that’s already up there and so, it prevents sync and offers to let you grab the cloud versions.

Too bad, eh. But there’s a quick fix.

This is what you should try if Spotify not syncing Local Files to iPhone:

(make sure you use the same account on Spotify for your Mac/PC as well as for your iPhone)

Step 1. First, connect both your PC/Mac and your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2. Now, open iTunes on your PC/Mac and you should find your iDevice listed under the Devices tab on the sidebar.

Step 3. Create a new playlist from your system (on the device) and place one of the local files into this.

Step 4. Open Spotify on your iPhone and then select the newly created playlist.

Step 5. Enable “Available Offline.”

Step 6. You’ll now see a progress icon right beneath the song you’ve got on the playlist. This will get the song from the cloud to your Spotify app.

Step 7. That’s about it.

When you add more songs to this playlist, they get synced. Make sure you don’t turn off the offline sync feature.

Note that there’s a limit to the number of offline songs you can have on your device (each).

That’s all folks!
