"not being able to sync the music I spent hours picking out for my iPod shuffle and being Unable to put them onto my iPod from spotify is very disappointing..."

"I am attempting to sync a selected playlist to my iPod shuffle and instead of syncing the playlist, Spotify starts syncing my Local Files. If I attempt to unselect the Local Files the whole program shuts down. If I then open it again, it has just started syncing my local files all over again. Please help!"
