Downloaded songs show up grey on iphone?

So I got my songs on spotify, then used this thing called spotydl which finds the mp3 online and transfers it to your music folder

so i then put them on itunes and synced it to my phone, but like 30% of the songs come up gray and won't play. Should i go fetch the mp3's for these myself and do it manually or is there a way to fix it?

I had the same problem, to edit these mp3 properties (artist, album, etc), right click the song name in itunes, view in explorer --> right click the mp3 file --> properties --> Uncheck "Read only" and you should be able to edit it

  • Songs grey and white won't play or delete on iPhone 4S? After I updates and synced, some songs turned grey and other remained white. All the grey ones won't play or delete, and about half the white songs won't play or delete either. I tired resyncing the songs back on the iPhone so I could delete them, but I only ended up with duplicates of songs and I could only delete the one I had just added? What is wrong? How do I fix this? 10 stars guarunteed to the person that can successfully help me solve this!
