Files opening into Spotify

[BaldMario]

I've downloaded spotify music but when I open the downloaded files, it brings me into spotify. I do not want to listen through spotify as there are errors in the app. I've tried deleting spotify and it works completely fine but I would like to keep spotify to download more music

I would try using a different player. Use the player to locate your Spotify files, select a file to play and you should get a message asking if you want to use the music player as the default which you should accept.

Hi,

When you open any local music file, you should get an option to select the player like in the screenshot.

If you don't see such a dialog, the. Go to Settings > Apps > Spotify > Set as default > Clear defaults > Clear

Also check in Spotify settings if Show audio files from this device is toggled on and turn it off.
