在 Windows PC上看不到您添加到 Spotify 的本地音乐文件？(local music files you’ve added to Spotify)如果是这样，显示这些文件的选项很可能被禁用。我们将向您展示如何启用该选项以及解决问题的其他方法。
您的本地文件未显示在Spotify中的其他原因包括您的文件不是受支持的文件格式、Spotify的缓存已损坏、您的防火墙阻止应用程序访问您的文件等等。
启用Spotify 本地文件选项(Spotify Local Files Option)
Spotify 不显示(Spotify doesn’t display)您的本地音乐文件的最常见原因是您关闭了帮助该应用识别您的文件的选项。启用该选项后，Spotify将在应用程序界面上找到并列出您的所有文件。
- 在 Windows PC 上打开Spotify桌面应用程序。
- 选择右上角的个人资料图标，然后选择“设置”。
- 向下滚动(Scroll)到设置中的(Settings)本地文件(Local Files)部分。然后，打开显示本地文件(Show Local Files)选项。
- 确保显示的文件夹是您的音乐文件所在的位置。如果不是这种情况，请通过选择添加(Add)源来添加源音乐文件夹。
确保(Make Sure)您的文件采用 Spotify 支持的格式
Spotify仅支持几种文件格式，您的音频文件必须采用其中一种格式才能出现在应用程序中。支持的格式有MP3、MP4和M4A。
如果您的文件不是其中一种格式，您必须先将它们转换为受支持的格式(convert them to a supported format)，然后它们才会出现在应用程序中。您可以通过多种方式更改 Windows PC 上的音乐文件格式。
将文件转换为受支持的格式后，将这些生成的文件放入 Spotify 的本地音乐文件夹(files in Spotify’s local music folder)中，您的文件将出现在应用程序中。
清除 Spotify 应用缓存
Spotify存储并使用缓存文件来改善您使用该应用程序的整体体验。如果这些文件损坏，可能会导致应用程序出现故障(cause the app to malfunction)。您的本地文件未显示在应用程序中可能是Spotify缓存损坏的结果。
在这种情况下，您可以清除应用程序的缓存并解决您的问题。这样做不会删除您的个人数据，例如存储在该应用程序中的音乐库。
- 在您的电脑上打开 Spotify。
- 选择右上角的个人资料图标，然后选择“设置”。
- 向下滚动(Scroll)到设置中的(Settings)存储(Storage)部分。然后，选择清除缓存按钮。
- 在提示中选择清除缓存。
- 关闭并重新打开 Spotify。
将您的文件重新添加(Re-add)到 Spotify 的本地音乐文件夹(Local Music Folder)
您在Spotify中看不到本地文件的原因之一是该应用程序存在小故障，因此很难识别您的文件。在这种情况下，您可以从本地音乐文件夹(the local music folder)中删除所有本地音频文件，然后将这些文件重新添加到那里。
- 在文件资源管理器(File Explorer)窗口中打开包含本地音乐文件的文件夹。
- 选择(Select)所有文件，右键单击任何一个文件，然后选择“剪切”(Cut)。
- 访问(Access)存储上的任何其他文件夹，右键单击空白处，然后选择粘贴(Paste)。您临时将音乐文件存储在此文件夹中。
- 启动Spotify，等待 10 秒钟，然后退出该应用程序。
- 打开您粘贴音乐文件的文件夹，选择所有文件，右键单击任何一个文件，然后选择剪切(Cut)。
- 转到 Spotify 的本地音乐文件夹，右键单击空白处，然后选择粘贴(Paste)。
- 打开Spotify，您应该会看到本地音乐。
修改您的防火墙(Firewall) 设置(Settings)以将Spotify添加到例外列表(Exception List)
您 PC 的Microsoft Defender 防火墙(Microsoft Defender Firewall)（也称为Windows Defender 防火墙(Windows Defender Firewall)）可能会阻止 Spotify 访问(preventing Spotify’s access)您的本地文件。这可能会导致您的文件不会出现在应用程序中。防火墙通常这样做是为了确保您的应用程序不会访问它不应该访问的内容。
处理这种情况的一种方法是将Spotify添加到防火墙的白名单中。这样做将确保Spotify可以访问它需要的所有路径。
- 打开“开始(Start)”菜单，搜索“ Windows 安全(Windows Security)”，然后启动应用程序。
- 在应用程序中选择防火墙(Select Firewall)和网络保护。
- 选择允许(Choose Allow)应用程序通过防火墙。
- 选择顶部的更改设置。
- 启用所有Spotify(Spotify)实例旁边的框。此外，激活所有Spotify实例的私人(Private)和公共(Public)复选框。
- 选择底部的确定以保存您的设置。
通过更新应用程序(App)修复 Spotify 的本地文件问题(Local Files Issue)
您可能在 PC 上使用旧版本的Spotify 。旧(Old)的应用程序版本通常会在新版本中修补问题。在这种情况下，您可以通过将Spotify应用程序更新到最新版本来解决本地文件问题。
更新应用程序(Updating the app)就像在当前应用程序中选择一个选项一样简单。

打开Windows 设置。(Windows Settings)

How to Fix Spotify’s Local Files Not Showing on Windows
Can’t see the local music files you’ve added to Spotify on your Windows PC? If so, chances are good that the option that displays these files is disabled. We’ll show you how to enable that option as well as other ways to fix the problem.
Other reasons your local files don’t show up in Spotify include your files aren’t in a supported file format, Spotify’s cache has been corrupted, your firewall is blocking the app’s access to your files, and more.
Enable the Spotify Local Files Option
The most common reason Spotify doesn’t display your local music files is that you’ve turned off the option that helps the app recognize your files. Once you enable the option, Spotify will locate and list all your files on the app interface.
- Open the Spotify desktop app on your Windows PC.
- Select your profile icon in the top-right corner and choose Settings.
- Scroll down to the Local Files section in Settings. Then, toggle on the Show Local Files option.
- Ensure the displayed folders are where your music files are located. If that’s not the case, add your source music folder by selecting Add a source.
Make Sure Your Files Are in a Spotify-Supported Format
Spotify only supports a few file formats, and your audio files must be in one of these formats to appear in the app. The supported formats are MP3, MP4, and M4A.
If your files aren’t in one of these formats, you’ll have to convert them to a supported format before they appear in the app. There are a few ways you can change your music files’ format on your Windows PC.
Once you’ve converted your files to a supported format, place these resulting files in Spotify’s local music folder, and your files will appear in the app.
Clear the Spotify App Cache
Spotify stores and uses cache files to improve your overall experience with the app. If these files become corrupt, it can cause the app to malfunction. Your local files not showing in the app may be the result of a corrupt Spotify cache.
In this case, you can clear the app’s cache and resolve your problem. Doing so doesn’t delete your personal data, such as the music library, stored with the app.
- Open Spotify on your PC.
- Select your profile icon at the top-right corner and choose Settings.
- Scroll down to the Storage section in Settings. Then, select the Clear cache button.
- Choose Clear cache in the prompt.
- Close and reopen Spotify.
Re-add Your Files to Spotify’s Local Music Folder
One reason you don’t see your local files in Spotify is that the app has minor glitches, making it difficult to recognize your files. In this case, you can remove all local audio files from the local music folder, and then re-add those files there.
- Open the folder containing your local music files in a File Explorer window.
- Select all your files, right-click any one file, and choose Cut.
- Access any other folder on your storage, right-click anywhere blank, and choose Paste. You’re storing your music files temporarily in this folder.
- Launch Spotify, wait for 10 seconds, and quit the app.
- Open the folder where you pasted your music files, select all files, right-click any one file, and choose Cut.
- Go to Spotify’s local music folder, right-click anywhere blank, and choose Paste.
- Open Spotify, and you should see your local music.
Modify Your Firewall Settings to Add Spotify to the Exception List
Your PC’s Microsoft Defender Firewall (also known as Windows Defender Firewall) may be preventing Spotify’s access to your local files. This can cause your files to not appear in the app. The firewall usually does that to ensure your app isn’t accessing the content it shouldn’t.
One way to deal with this situation is to add Spotify to your firewall’s whitelist. Doing so will ensure Spotify can access all the paths it needs.
- Open the Start menu, search for Windows Security, and launch the app.
- Select Firewall & network protection in the app.
- Choose Allow an app through firewall.
- Select Change settings at the top.
- Enable the box beside all instances of Spotify. Also, activate both Private and Public checkboxes for all Spotify instances.
- Select OK at the bottom to save your settings.
Fix Spotify’s Local Files Issue by Updating the App
You may be using an old version of Spotify on your PC. Old app versions often have issues that are patched in newer versions. In this case, you can resolve your local files issue by updating your Spotify app to the latest version.
Updating the app is as easy as selecting an option within your current app.
- Open Spotify on your machine.
- Select File > Help > About Spotify in the app’s menu bar.
- Choose Click here to download if an update is available.
- Relaunch Spotify after you’ve downloaded and installed the available updates.
Uninstall and Reinstall Spotify on Your PC
If your local music files still won’t show up in Spotify, your last resort is to remove and reinstall the Spotify app on your computer. Doing so deletes all the app files from your storage, removing any faulty files that may be causing the issue.
You’ll need to log back into your Spotify account when you reinstall the app, so keep your login details handy.
- Open Windows Settings by pressing Windows + I.
- Select Apps in Settings.
- Find and choose the Spotify application on the list. Then, select Uninstall.
- Select Uninstall in the prompt.
- Reboot your PC.
- Launch your preferred web browser, head to Spotify’s download page, and download the latest app version to your PC.
- Run the downloaded file to install the app.
