[Android][Search] Songs not playing, greyed out.

        I've noticed that a few songs are in a greyed out state, but I personally haven't touched them, nor have I blocked the artist or song in my library. I would like to listen to these songs, but it just simply doesn't give me the option to. Is there a certain reason, perhaps the author of the songs decided they didn't want people listening to them?

Hey LeakedVermin,

I hate when that happens, I have playlists with a bunch of greyed out songs/artist's. But I think that you are correct. It may be due to the artist or due to a contract issue.
