I can't play a grayed out playlist=Help!

kastegh — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 04:37:06 GMT

I have found an album that I want to play, but the whole thing is grayed out and can't be played. Why? Is there a way to get permission to play this?

Hi @kastegh,

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

I’ve moved your post from Chat to a relevant Help board, where it fits better.

If the tracks on an album are grayed out, it means that they’re currently unavailable in your country. Spotify would like to make all the world's music available, but this availability can vary over time and between countries, depending on permissions from rights holders.

Spotify adds new content every day, so if you can’t find the music that you’re looking for right now, it may appear (or reappear) soon. In the meantime, you can import local files to your Spotify library if you have this album as files on your device.

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
