Can you listen to local files on your spotify account on spotify app for xbox one?

Hey FuneralGhoul,

At the moment the Spotify app on Xbox One only supports streaming from their catalogue, not local files. If you have local files on a hard drive connected to your console you could use the media player app to play them, but local files from another device
won't play (at present).

It could be worth making this suggestion on
Spotify's own feedback/Ideas page, or support it if it already exists there.

Hi Florian,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your questions. Have you checked Spotify to see if your music is there also? When all this occurred some music was moved to spotify. You can view the entire guide here for

Groove music and spotify.

All the music that had a match in Spotify’s catalog now appears in your Spotify library and playlists. All your purchased or uploaded non-Groove Music Pass music will remain untouched in the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps. Music you own and
that is stored locally on your hard drive or on OneDrive is untouched and will continue to be playable from your local hard drive through the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps.

Try the Spotify app and let us know.

Thanks,

Brad

Try starting up music playback on your phone (Spotify app) and then open the Spotify for Xbox One app, and in the phone app click on "Devices available" and select your console. That should "send" the playback to your console and let you continue listening
to music there.

Let us know how you get on.

Hello Sabrina V, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Third-party problems are almost always due to lack of updating.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the Spotify app on your Xbox. Updates often fix bugs and compatibility issues.

Go to the Microsoft Store on your Xbox.
Search Spotify and check if an update is available. If yes, install it.
Check Playback Settings
Open the Spotify app on your Xbox.
Go to "Your Library" and select the podcast you want to listen to.
Before playing, check that "Play Next" or "Shuffle" is disabled. Sometimes shuffle settings can cause problems.

Also make sure you are using the correct Premium account to sign in to the Spotify app on your Xbox.
If you continue to see ads despite having a Premium account, you may need to sign out and sign back into your Spotify account in the Xbox app.

As advice, Delete Data and Cache
Go to Settings on your Xbox.
Select Storage and then Manage Storage.
Find and select Spotify.
Delete app data and cache.

Best regards.

I think Spotify have some deal with PlayStation, so they can't or won't make an app for Xbox One right now. Spoticast is an unofficial app, it doesn't play the music from Spotify, it searches for the songs in your Spotify account on YouTube and plays them
from there. So you don't actually need Spotify Premium to use Spoticast at all.

If you have a Windows laptop or PC that you can use, the Stream What You Hear app lets you stream sound from your PC to Groove Music on your Xbox, so with that switched on you can play music from Spotify and hear it on your Xbox. This has a slight delay
but since it's just music that doesn't matter too much.
