The guys at Spotify seem like they are very busy in the last few weeks seeking not only to improve the application, but also to improve the profitability of the platform. Just over a week ago, the streaming music giant was rumored to be looking into creating a podcast payment plan.
Last week he entered the Stories, similar to those that we can find on Snapchat, Facebook, WhatsApp ... Today we wake up with more important news, since the company will soon add the possibility of play the songs that we have stored on our device through the app.
Spotify is finally working on on-device local files support for Android!

Whether you pay the Spotify subscription or enjoy the free version without ads, but also have music stored on your device that is not available on Spotify, this function will allow you completely forget about any other music player, a feature that many of these users will undoubtedly appreciate.
This new functionality has been discovered, once again, by Jane Manchun Wong, who has tweeted a screenshot of the option that we will have to enable if we want the files stored on our device to be displayed. If so, these will be added to our library.
This function, which was already available in the defunct Google Play Music he was one of the great buts of this platform, since it forces users to use other music applications to enjoy the songs downloaded on their terminals. What is not yet known, is if while we enjoy these songs, Spotify will include advertising among non-subscribers, something that does not seem logical since we are not using their service, only the application.
Also, it would be like shoot yourself in the foot and users would quickly stop using it, to go back to using their usual music player. Regarding the launch date of this new function, at the moment it is unknown, but it should not take long to reach the market.
