Cannot Add Local Files to a Playlist ?
One feature that makes Spotify fantastic is its ability to add your locally saved music into the desktop client. This gives you privilege to enjoy Spotify tracks with your own tracks in playlists, and you can listen to them from anywhere.
In Spotify recent release version, they have changed how Mac and Windows clients handle local music. In previous, versions you can drag-and-drop files into a playlist, but now this feature is changed and this made some users think that the service was broken and try to report spotify error.

Cannot Download Songs for Spotify Offline Playback
If you are on a long drive with low internet coverage and missing romantic music, or you are at a gym and want to listen to your own beats, Spotify play offline and save your mobile data.
In order to maintain performance, there is a known limitation of for listening to offline maximum 3,333 songs. If you have reached that limit, now you have to remove few tracks from your list until then you won't be able to download any more tracks.
For the fastest resolution, you should delete cache although toggling a playlist Available Offline switch will slowly delete its content.

Cannot Add More Tracks to Your Music
It is wise to filter out your music library on and off so that the list size does not reach the maximum limit of 10000. When you eventually reach the limit, throwing your curated library into disarray is the only option.
As this feature does not bother lots of users, so Spotify product owner has not yet prioritized to increase the threshold limit as it might create a performance issue for a few devices.
However, there is an easy and best workaround by creating multiple libraries and adding these into a single playlist folder.

- Create a new playlist "Library" and add your music in it.
- When it reaches the threshold of 10,000 create a new library 2 and so on
- Add all of these libraries into a single playlist folder (File > New Playlist Folder), and highlight the folder to see all the music within in.
Spotify problem on Android
Like most of the Android applications start working just by closing and re-launching app or just by logging out and logging back in the app, most of the times smaller issues might get solved. Issues like offline download, playback problems or blank screen-clearing cache and reinstalling may resolve your problem.
Clear Cache and Perform a Clean Install
Like other applications, Spotify also saves data in Cache for faster and efficient performance. Sometimes, due to some operations, cache data gets corrupted and we started experiencing usage problems.
It's always safe to delete cache as when we launch the application it rebuild again.
Just head to Settings > Apps > Spotify > Storage and tap on Clear Cache. You should also tap on Clear Data.
