I have used spotify for a while and have never had any problems, but suddenly it has stopped working. Whenever I try to play a song or playlist off of spotify on my computer it doesn't work. The song will highlight in green but won't play. The time on the bottom doesn't even move either. This has been going on for a week and I can't get it to work. Note: Unique links aren’t currently available on the Spotify for Artists mobile app. Go to the Playlists tab. Under Recent playlist adds, you’ll find any editorial playlists you’ve been added to in the past 7 days. Any personalized editorial playlists you’re featured on will have the PERSONALIZED badge.

S3studio/Getty Images- Sure, Spotify does offer the option to show just songs, artists, or playlists, but you have to scroll down and tap on one of the options, which I find a bit counterintuitive. Better shuffle This.

Aside from paying a flat rate for basically unlimited music every month and having the ability to download the app to any smartphone, one of Spotify's main draws is how easy it is to create and curate playlists.
Creating the covers for those playlists is a slightly different story. Some Spotify users have been openly critical of how the streaming music service's playlist cover selection works.
When you're creating a playlist, the cover automatically becomes a collage of the art for the playlist's first four songs. Spotify's desktop site lets you manually replace the cover so long you have rights to the image you want to upload. But on the mobile app for Android, the only way to change it is to rearrange your playlist's opening tracks.
If you don't mind having to switch the tracks in the first four positions of your playlist now and then, here's how Android users can change their Spotify playlist covers on the desktop and their mobile phones.
How to change a playlist cover on the SpotifyAndroid app
1. Open the Spotify app.
2. Select the playlist you want to rearrange.
3. In the top right corner of your playlist screen, tap the three vertical dots.

Spotify lets you stream helluva soundtracks and hands down has one of the biggest music streaming playlists. But, it still misses out on a few Indie singles and artists. I also don’t find many regional songs of course due to legal issues. For these exceptions, Spotify provides you an option to stream local songs on the Spotify Desktop app. And in fact, you can even sync the playlist on to other devices in Spotify and enjoy the same songs on every device. So, here’s how to Sync Local Files From Spotify desktop to any device. However, this is a paid feature and you need to be a premium Spotify user.
Sync Local Files From Spotify Desktop To Any Device
1. Firstly, you will need to attach the Music Playlist local folder on Spotify. Here, I am going to attach my local folder on Spotify Windows. To do that, go to your Spotify Account Settings.
2. In the Account Settings, scroll down to Local Files Section. To stream local files, you need to turn the slider on. Once that is done, you will see two default folder options – Downloads and Music Library. If you have your song and playlists in those folders, you can move to Step 5. Else, we will need to attach our folder. To attach a different local folder, click on “Add a Source”.
3. After you have clicked on “Add a source” button, you will see a small File Explorer window pop up. Browse to the song folder on your local machine. Select it and click OK to add the folder.

4. Now once you have selected the folder, it should appear below the Local Files section. Make sure the slider is turned on else songs from that folder won’t be listed.
5. After you have attached the local folder, the songs will be available to stream on Spotify. To stream local songs, click on Local Files Library on the right-hand side. It should be present in the “Your Library” section.
6. Once you see your Local Files, we need to add them to a separate playlist. To do that, click on the 3 dots beside the songs. From the extended menu, move to “Add to Playlist”. An extended tray will display the existing playlist names, you can add to any of these. In case you have lots of local songs and want to stream them all, I would suggest creating a new Playlist. Here, I already have a playlist called Local Songs where I will be adding 3-4 local songs.
7. Once you have added all the desired songs to a playlist, now we can move to the other device. Like, suppose I want to stream the same songs on my Spotify mobile, I just have to download the playlist there. The only thing I have to take care of is that I am on the same Wi-Fi network as my laptop. Once you are connected on the same Wi-Fi network, go to the local songs playlist on the Spotify mobile app.

8. After you have found the playlist, tap on it to open the playlist. You will see all the local songs within it but they will all be greyed. You cannot listen to them as of now. So, we have to download the playlist in order to stream those local songs. To do that, tap the three buttons on the top right corner and tap on Download.
This is just a one time process and needs to be done every time you add a new local song. Now that you have downloaded the songs, you can move on to a different network and still, you will have the playlist available. The best thing about this process is that the songs don’t take up much space. To be precise, if your download preference is set to normal, each song would take approx 2.8 MB where High will take 4.7MB per track and very high might take 9.4MB per track.
