Android Playlists all tracks are GREYED out

So here is the problem I'm having. I have premium, blew away my PC, downloaded spotify and exported my iTunes playlists and nearly everything is greyed out now. When i went to try to play songs I had available minutes ago, it says "This track is not available." What is happening?

Can I just check - you synched playlists of local files to your mobile and were able to play them but now they are greyed out and unplayable? If you could explain a bit more about what you did and what isn't working as you expect, I'll try to help.

Well, here is what I did. I had about 25 playlists imported from my iTunes account. I blew away my PC due to some issues and rebuilt everything. Including Spotify and iTunes.

When I rebuilt iTunes I elected to keep only one playlist. Then I installed spotify and linked it with my premium account, as I had done in the past. When I did that my brain is thinking, "okay, good to go."

Except when i synced it on my phone. Went to go start streaming my music as normal and about 70 of the 777 tracks are showing up as playable. I manually searched Spotify and saw and streamed songs from Spotify that were on the playlist that it says can't be played. So I don't know what to do. As far as I can tell the onyl solution is to manually re-add everything from the Spotify app.

When you open that playlist in the web player, are most of the tracks greyed-out there as well? Could you post a link to the playlist (right click playlist name > copy spotify URI.

Hey I am having the same issue. I was trying to get rid of my ipod touch 4g because I didn't like the fact that I had to download and sync my music to the player. I wanted to just use my android device as my main player. So I made a new playlist with all the songs of a playlist I had on my ipod and when I tried to play it on my android some songs were grayed out.
