Not Playing certain songs.

Hey,

So I know that there are song that lisences will change and mean that potentially i cannot play them, but i seem to be having a different problem.

There seems to be a large amount of songs that are not appearing greyed out on my spotify but when i try to play them, Im getting "This song is not available. If you have the..." message.

Some of the artists I have noticed are:

The xx, Rammstein, Daft Punk, Maroon 5, Thirty Seconds to Mars...

And probably a few more.

So the weired part is that if I play them on my phone (iPhone) they play fine?

Im on Win10, Fully updated client. I have logged in and out, restarted the app a few times to no avail.

Any Ideas?

Edit: I probably should have mentioned, I host a familty plan. No idea if that makes a difference.

Hey @0x539

I suppose a reinstall could help here. Maybe the desktop client is a bit confused... 🙂

I suggest following this article, but before you get back to reinstalling the client, go to your %appdata% folder and see if there are any Spotify folders left (both in Roaming and Local). If yes, delete those.

Let me know how this goes!

Install Spotify 1.0.64. http://www.filehorse.com/download-spotify/32265/

The problem is with the new update for desktop: 1.0.65.

Here are some of my artists that are unplayable on 1.0.65:

* Kanye West

* Katy Perry

* Daft Punk

* Gorillaz

* Lana Del Rey

* Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hey,

Thanks, That seems to have fixed it.

I guess we just wait for the next update =/

It's starting to **bleep** me off. I pay for this service and I expect it works.
