Matching track across playlists. Eg. Local tracks added to Spotify playlist with local files added via local files provider

[jacekpaszkowski]

Hi.
I would love to be able to play track which are added to my playlist on Spotify. I also added same files via local files provider (has exact same names as the file on spotify playlists) but i don't see them on my playslists.
Would be great to include them in playlists and just use same playlist from spotify.

Thank you!

If you have fully tagged your local files that should get linked with the identical Spotify track and then the best available will be used for playback. The audio pipeline will be helpful to show what is actually playing

I can't get this working :( Is there w way to force MA to process my playlist and files again? Is the order of adding music sources relevant?
Local files the Spotify, or reverse?

I have the same files (same tags, same file names) mapped as local files and same files are added to Spotify playlists via local files functionality in Spotify.

It don’t understand what the problem is. Can you break it down into the steps of what you have tried to do and then what you have observed.

Remember to check the provider details section of each track you are interested in to see if the local file has been linked to the Spotify track. Also look at the audio pipeline view to see what is happening when playing back.
