Not sure where to pos this so I picked iPhone. I have a very large music collection in iTunes on my Mac. I also have lot of music in Spotify on my phone. Some of my i Tune numbers Are unpublished (personal music imported from personal collections) I have been trying for a long time to download some of those private numbers to the iPhone Spotify with no success. I would be grateful to get suggestions

Thank you
poppi

You don't do that. Spotify is purely for streaming music from their servers or downloading said music locally to be played offline. This ensures that the royalties are paid properly to the artists.

On the other hand, your personal music is your personal music that you've gotten through various means and isn't subject to royalties.

You download your personal music to your iPhone and play it with the Music app.

If you just want to listen to your tracks stored in iTunes on Spotify you can do that in Spotify > Settings & Privacy > Local Files > Show Audio Files from this Device. They will then appear in Local Files in your Library.
You can then put those tracks/albums in play lists or whatever.
