I think you have misunderstood things.
There are two different ways of listening to Spotify on an iOS device
a) iPod sync, like you mention - only your local mp3 files
b) via the Spotify client, online or offline. see e.g. http://blog.laptopmag.com/people-follow-spotify http://blog.laptopmag.com/people-follow-spotify
- AhtiK 13y agoSorry, I wasn't clear enough. My issue is that in order to listen to Spotify songs offline users still needs a Spotify client. Whenever they advertise iPod/mp3 player sync one obviously thinks that one can transfer the music to a regular iPod. For me this is misleading. (1) But yes, I should have read https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/guides/#!/article/How-to-sync-iPod-with-Spotify https://support.spotify.com/us/learn-more/guides/#!/article/... first. They do warn about it. Yes, iOS supports also iPod sync for local mp3 files in addition to Spotify client but it's a rather useless feature for most. There is no clear reason why iPod sync in Spotify is necessary at all, it is confusing the offering as it has no relevance to the music that Spotify as a service offers.

- johansch 13y agoI think they just added the local mp3 sync feature to avoid having to use the horrid iTunes client for that. Agree it's a bit out of place, unless you are a very particular kind of user.
