Some people simply prefer to have the songs saved on their smartphones and if you are one of them you will be able to play your local files on Spotify soon. This may sound interesting when you are using a service like Spotify already, but today it is still common to buy digital copies. And maybe you are a music enthusiast and you don’t have your favorite album on Spotify, this will not be a problem anymore.
- Spotify might release a story feature soon
- Opera adds Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music to its sidebar
- You will be able to log in to Spotify with your Google account soon
Jane Manchun Wong was able to track down an option in the settings that would make this task easier. The option called ‘show local files’ works as a switch. This way, users will be able to access local files. You can also play any audio that you have stored on your computer with this feature.
Spotify is finally working on on-device local files support for Android!

The application is clearly working on a way to display these files in your library. Integration of this feature is not the easiest task, especially if they want to make possible shuffle playing between online content and local files. This would be a really interesting thing because YouTube Music, for example, allows access to these files but separates them from their normal library which means that it is not possible to create playlists with local and online files together.
