SpotifyIf you use the Spotify streaming service on your smartphone, this article is for you. You've probably already noticed that Spotify (at least in the Czech localization) still lacks the creations of a lot of artists, namely the legendary AC/DC. However, if you prefer Spotify over other streaming services, but still want to listen to the missing artists, it seems like an ideal option to use the "Local Files" function on the desktop version to import mp3/mp4/m4a files of the selected artist into your Spotify.

After that, all you have to do is synchronize your smartphone with the desktop version of the service using the "SYNC" button, and songs from Local Files will start downloading to your device. This allows the user to listen to them subsequently on a smartphone, even without the need to be online. But by default, Spotify downloads songs to the device's internal memory, which in many cases can cause storage capacity problems. So how do you force Spotify to import songs straight to the SD card (assuming you have one, of course) and not the internal storage?

// < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ // < ![CDATA[ / / < ![CDATA[ //The procedure is simple, just follow these few steps:
(Please note that after completing the tutorial, the smartphone will need to be re-synced with the desktop client to move the files to the SD card)

  1. First of all, make sure your SD card has at least 1GB of free space and enough extra space to add your MP3 files
  2. Clear the cache of the internal memory, this can be achieved as follows:
    1. In the Spotify app, open the settings (Settings)
      Spotify
    2. At the bottom of the settings, there is an option to clear the cache and saved data (Delete cache and saved data), click on this box
      Spotify
    3. Confirm by pressing the button OK
      Spotify
  3. And it is done! After syncing again, your songs will be stored on the SD card
