My Question or Issue

Some songs play on Mobie but NOT Desktop.

I only notice it with some of Drakes songs (im sure there are others im unaware of).

For instance, Drake - Feel No Ways, does NOT play on Desktop, but if I switch to Mobile, it plays instantly.

The message provided by Spotify on Desktop when it refuses to play the song... "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it."

IT IS listed in normal text (clear white), so it looks playable, but doesn't.

Non-playable songs are clearly very dark grey, which every song in this album is NOT.

SETTINGS:

*Show unavailable songs in playlists - FALSE

- Meaning if the song were unavailable, I should NOT see it, and yet it shows, but does NOT play on Desktop, but DOES play on Mobile.

Thank you.

Hey there!

Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Is it just this particular Drake album or is there any others?

Have you tried in the Spotify Web Player?

This may be something as simple as needing to reinstall the Spotify desktop app.

If you could let me know I'll be able to help you further.

Have an awesome day!

Spotify has brain damage so they only let drake songs play on mobile but you can play drake features on laptop, Don't know why they do this it's just bringing his streams down
