If you have a set of MP3 files on your computer that you wish were available on Spotify, you can now actually add them to your Spotify on your phone! You'll need a PC and a Wi-Fi connection for this. This tutorial is written for a Windows PC with either Android or iPhone. The equivalent steps might work for Mac computers too.
On your Spotify on PC:
1. Put all the MP3 files you want into a folder - this folder will be synced to Spotify.
2. Go to the Settings of your Spotify on the PC. Turn on "Show Local Files". Under "Show songs from", I recommend turning off everything and clicking "Add a source", then adding that specific folder of MP3s. Now all of your local MP3s will be shown on a section called Local Files on the left.
3, Create a playlist, and call it "Local" or whatever you wish. Then click on the Local Files section, hit Ctrl+A to choose all, and drag all of the songs to the playlist you just created, which I called "Local".
4. Go into that "Local" playlist, and turn on the Downloaded button (on the right side) and it should go green.
On your Spotify app in your phone:
1. Make sure your phone is on the same Wi-Fi as your PC (or the PC can be wired via Ethernet into the same home network too).
2. Close Spotify and re-open it so that the new "Local" playlist shows up.
3. Go into the "Local" playlist and all the songs should be grey. Turn on the "Download" button.
4. Spotify will now download all your local MP3 files in that playlist as long as you're on the same internet connection as the PC.
5. Once they have all finished downloading, they will all have green arrows on them. Now you can listen to these MP3s wherever you are. So whenever you want to listen to a song that is in your local MP3s, you'll have to go to that "Local" playlist on your phone. I think you can add it to your normal Spotify library which is called Liked Songs now, but I haven't tried it as I had issues before. So I have all my custom MP3s in its own playlist now, which works like a charm.
