Spotify is great as long as you don’t hit a bump with some sync problem. Oh, there’s the issue of your premium account not getting activated (or recognized in mobile), but that’s often just a server glitch.
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.
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.
Launch the Spotify app and tap on the 'Library' icon, then press the settings gear in the top-right corner. Once you're in the app settings, scroll down to the 'Music Quality' section and then tap on 'Equalizer.' You'll get a warning popup, but go ahead and tick the 'Don't show this again' checkbox because we really don't need to see that again.
- Tap the Settings button at the bottom of the app to access the Spotify Settings page on your mobile device. These are useful preferences that you can switch on or off when you want to make important adjustments, such as listening to music at a lower quality if you’re out and about, and don’t want to consume too much data usage.

Too bad, eh. But there’s a quick fix.
This is what you should try if Spotify not syncing Local Files to iPhone:
Spotify Ios App Settings Password
https://gxolhmr.weebly.com/blog/bmw-apps-spotify-bluetooth. (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). Free trial of spotify unlimited.
That’s all folks!

EQ, or equalizer, settings are a very overlooked feature of the iPhone. If you’re not happy with the sound being delivered out of your built-in speakers or even through headphones or a third-party speaker, you can alter it using EQ settings.
There’s no true way to have the perfect EQ settings because everyone’s taste is different, but you can use the settings for either Apple Music or Spotify to customize sound to your liking. The presets adjust frequencies in sound that affect properties like treble and bass, and optimize them for your listening preferences and environment. So yes, adjusting EQ might be able to improve the sound coming out of your inexpensive or low-end speakers.
Adjusting EQ for Apple Music
Since Apple Music is baked into iOS, the settings to change EQ for your Apple Music playback (or just standard iTunes playback) is found in the Settings app.
Add Spotify App
Tap Settings and scroll down to select Music. Scroll once more to select EQ under Playback.
Apple doesn’t let you fine-tune EQ settings for music playback in the same way Spotify does, so instead you’ll have to choose from one of the presets. (Though on your desktop, you can also customize EQ for each individual iTunes song.) The presets are crafted based on the genre of music best suited for that particular sound arrangement. EQ is off by default, but your choices are:
- Acoustic
- Bass Booster (makes the booming lows more prominent)
- Bass Reducer (makes the booming lows less prominent)
- Classical
- Dance
- Deep
- Electronic
- Flat (overrides any preset iTunes setting in favor of flat frequencies)
- Hip Hop
- Jazz
- Late Night (turns down typically loud sounds and boosts quiet parts; ideal if you’re at a distance)
- Latin
- Loudness
- Lounge
- Piano
- Pop
- R&B
- Rock
- Small Speakers
- Spoken Word
- Treble Booster (makes the highs more prominent)
- Treble Reducer (makes the highs less prominent)
- Vocal Booster
Adjusting EQ for Spotify
To adjust the EQ settings in your Spotify app, tap the Menu icon on the top left. Then tap the small Settings icon next to your name. Choose Playback and finally choose Equalizer.
Spotify features all of the same EQ presets as the iOS Settings except for Late Night. (See above for those options and some explanations.) But unlike Apple’s options, Spotify also includes a visual equalizer that you can drag to your liking.
A word on frequencies: all you really need to know about them is that the lower the frequency, the lower the sound that knob will control. For instance, the 60Hz and 150Hz controls on the left will primarily work the bass, so dragging up will increase the bass sounds and dragging down will decrease. On the other side, the 2.4KHz and 15KHz frequencies surround the treble, or highs.
If you aren’t happy with any of the presets but still want to turn on EQ, once again I recommend playing one of your favorite songs. While it’s playing, start dragging the different frequencies up or down to see what you like best.
