Getting your files into Spotify

Spotify plays your own files through a feature called Local Files. You turn it on once, put the MP3s Taglet made in the folder Spotify watches, and they show up next to everything else.

Mac or PC

  1. Unzip the export if you saved a zip. Keep each album in its own folder; Taglet already named them.
  2. In the Spotify app, open Settings, find Your Library, and switch on Show Local Files.
  3. Under Show songs from, choose Add a source and pick the folder you saved to, for example Music/Taglet.
  4. Open Your Library. Your songs are in the Local Files playlist. Add them to any playlist to play them on your phone too.

Spotify’s desktop app sometimes shows one cover for every local song by the same artist. That’s a Spotify quirk; the art inside each file is still correct and shows properly on phones.

iPhone or iPad

  1. In Spotify, tap your profile picture, then Settings and privacy. Scroll to Local Files and switch on Show audio files from this device.
  2. In Taglet, export with Save to Files, then choose On My iPhone › Spotify. If you saved a zip, tap it in the Files app to unpack it and move the folder into Spotify.
  3. Back in Spotify, open Your Library. The songs are in Local Files.

No Spotify folder in Files? Open Spotify once after turning on Local Files. If it’s still missing, create a folder called Spotify under On My iPhone and toggle the setting off and on.

Songs on your computer? Use Link a device in Taglet to send the finished MP3s to your iPhone, or AirDrop them and save to the Spotify folder.

Android

  1. In Spotify, tap your profile picture, then Settings and privacy. Turn on Show audio files from this device and allow access when asked.
  2. Export from Taglet with Save one by one (they go to Downloads), or unzip the zip in your Files app. Spotify finds audio anywhere on the phone.
  3. Open Your Library and look for Local Files.

On Android you can also share audio straight into Taglet: install it to your home screen, then pick Taglet from any app’s share menu.

Installing Taglet like an app

On iPhone, open taglet.net in Safari, tap Share then Add to Home Screen. On Android or a computer, use the install button in the address bar or the browser menu. It opens full screen and works offline once it has loaded.
