Remember, while this method lets you enjoy your personal music collection within Spotify, it does not upload your songs to the service’s cloud. This means your tracks will only appear on the devices where you have them stored, maintaining privacy and convenience simultaneously. If you plan to delete or change the location of original files, consider the impact on their availability within the Spotify app. Enjoy curating your personal playlist!
