2. How to Import Local Music Into Spotify

Using the Spotify desktop app, you can transfermusic from other sources to Spotify by importing it. First, make sure the desired songs are on your computer, and put them in an easily accessible folder.

Once that's done, launch Spotify. Click the three-dot menu button at the top-left, and go to Edit > Preferences. Scroll down to Local Files and make sure the Show Local Files slider is enabled.

Once you turn on this slider, you'll see sources for various music folders on your PC. You can disable any you don't need. To import new ones, click Add a Source.

From the file selection window that appears, choose the folder of songs you just made and click Open. You'll then see it appear in the Show songs from list; make sure it's enabled.

If you've previously imported music from other local sources, you might want to uncheck them here temporarily before moving on. This will make it easier to select only the music you just added and put it in a new playlist (or whatever else you want to do).

Now, click Your Library at the top-left of Spotify and in the Playlists tab, you'll see a new Local Files option. Click this and you'll see all the local music you selected earlier inside.

Since imported music doesn't feature clickable artists and albums, you can use the sorting option at the top-right of the playlist (probably set to Custom order by default) to sort by artist, track name, and similar. Click Create Playlist in the left sidebar to add your local music to a fresh playlist for easy categorizing.

For convenience, you can select all the songs inside Local Files with Ctrl + A on Windows or Cmd + A on Mac. Then drag, or copy and paste, them into the new playlist.
