-- I really love Spotify music but hate lugging my smartphones around or strapping to arm during runs, hikes, trips to the gym, and walks in the park. How can I sync Spotify playlist to iPod Shuffle? Please advice.
-- I have Spotify Premuium and I'd like to sync my playlists (offline) to my iPod Shuffle. When I go to sync through spotify - I see the warning on my playlists - "Only local files synced". I have made the playlists available offline, can anyone confirm that my scenrio works and what steps I'm missing. Thanks in advance!
-- Not ideal, iPod shuffle seems to be a good device to play Spotify music for this (being mobile/on the move, etc)
Smartphone with fragile and expensive screens is so heavy, hard to carry during exercise that many of Spotify users prefer to copy their Spotify playlist to tiny iPod Shuffle for streaming on the move. However, when you go to sync them to shuffle, there is a message pops up suddenly saying "Only local files synced". What is "local files"? According to Spotify's iPod integration FAQ, "local files" basically means your music - your own MP3 collection, which confusingly doesn't include music from the Spotify catalog that you've downloaded to your computer. It seems that only the iPod touch which was installed Spotify app can be used for listening to Spotify content, right?
