Hi, I used to have some great tunes by Neuroticfish in my playlist. It seems like the group was removed from Spotify, and not only that the entries was removed from my playlist instead of the usual "grayed out".
Searching for neuroticfish in Spotify reveals nothing. Pushing back in my Spotify history and I can actually find the artist and start "Artist Radio" but nothing more.
Is this something new, the automatic removing from playlist?
Is there a list where removed artists are displayed?

I'm looking for a song that I used to listen on Spotify but have had no luck since it's disappeared from all my playlists. It's not fun trudging through hundreds of last.fm history pages, either. OP seconded.

Yeah, what's with this new behaviour? At least show the removed songs grayed out as before! This kind of silent removal of music is not ok!

jlindbergh -

The function to shown greyed out tracks is still available. Head into the Preferences menu, scroll down to the "Playback" tab and uncheck "Hide Unplayable Tracks". This will show the tracks that were previously available.

Thanks David! I've always had that option unchecked, could it be that it got reset during some update?

[irritated]

I'm happy with the solution as well. (I can swear that I haven't checked it myself.) So now I'm just looking for a list of removed artists and preferably a reason why so that I know where to start lobbying to get them back!

Mine music list doesn't show up even though i tried this.. There are so many mixed tracks.. And im really mad over that my kind of lifework are gone..

Is there any way to get back a playlist that perheps have been removed?
I would love a answear! Thanks

So this grayed out artist is not playing even after I change my preferences. What gives?

I realize a workable reply may come in several months. Untill then I will not use spotify. It may be a good thing I didn't up grade.

Hey! Welcome to the community :)

Any content that is missing is normally down to the record label or rights holders with holding those tracks from Spotify, sometimes to push up physical and download sales. In the case of Taylor Swift and Rihanna, that is exactly what they are doing. Some artists also choosen not to be a part of Spotify, so there is nothing that can really be done about that!
